Over the years, I had great fun bringing strange and wonderful ethnographic objects to the cameras at Antiques Roadshow. Ironically, some of the most memorable things I ever saw never made it onto television. This was one of them. I can't remember the city, but I remember the couple. They were conservative, buttoned-up, perfectly respectable-looking people. They arrived at the Tribal Arts table and carefully placed a small, hand-painted square box in front of me. I looked at it and said, "I don'…

Spectral Kinship brings together six artists whose works give voice to silenced subjects and explore how suppressed histories and unaccommodated desires are made palpable through sound, ritual, materiality and form. Drawing on Avery Gordons account of haunting as a social force that makes the present waver, the exhibition approaches the spectral as a condition of latency: elusive or buried beneath the surface, yet continually seeping across seemingly impermeable temporal and spatial boundaries …

As manufacturing facilities in city centers gave way to residential projects, shopping centers, and cultur…
