SLQS Gallery x Art Elsewhere
)
Art Elsewhere is a London-based curatorial platform and advisory founded by Senem Cagla Bilgin-Keys in 2017. Through exhibitions, artist residencies, art fair presentations and independent projects, Art Elsewhere works closely with artists through sustained dialogue, research and collaboration. Its programme is grounded in social and ecological discourses with a particular interest in practices engaging with migration, identity and cultural memory. Working across disciplines and geographies, Art Elsewhere places artistic practices in dialogue with wider cultural contexts, creating space for critical exchange. Alongside its curatorial programme, Art Elsewhere encourages art patronage by providing strategic advisory to collectors and galleries, supporting informed collection development, championing emerging artists and presenting exhibitions and projects with cultural institutions and other arts organisations.
Senem Cagla Bilgin-Keys is an independent curator, writer and advisor based in London. Her curatorial practice focuses on environmental and social issues, including migration, ecology, identity and cultural memory. Drawing on her academic background in art history and curating, she brings a research-driven, critical approach to exhibition projects and strategic advisory for galleries, collectors and artists across Europe and West Asia. Her work spans solo and group exhibitions, participation in art fairs, artist residency mentorship and curation, essays for museum catalogues and editorial work for art publications. Since 2013, she has worked with leading galleries and institutions, including Tate Patrons, Lehmann Maupin (London) and Podbielski Contemporary (Milan). She is particularly committed to creating opportunities for emerging and independent artists, fostering sustainable, long-term relationships that support their professional and artistic development.
SLQS Gallery is a contemporary art gallery committed to platforming women and queer artists across generations. Founded by Sarah Le Quang Sang, SLQS Gallery aims to foster an inclusive and intentional ethos. Through a considered and targeted programme, the gallery looks to disrupt outdated frameworks, such as neatly defined industry classifications “emerging” and “mid-career”, which often exclude artists balancing caregiving responsibilities or working outside conventional timelines.
SLQS Gallery emerges at a pivotal cultural moment when the need for unapologetic spaces for women and queer voices has never been more urgent. Across the globe, we are witnessing regressive attacks on women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, from the repealing of queer identity labels and abortion rights and the abolition of DEI policies in the US to alarming rates of femicide and rising misogynist extremism in the UK.
