More on the curator:
Xavier White (b. 1993) is a London-based artist. His work is rooted in activism and provides a contemporary socio-political commentary on topics such as queer identity, toxic masculinity, and the male gaze. Harnessing the semiotic power of childhood toys, he makes complex political issues appear accessible, juxtaposing nostalgia and fun with the problematic past and present.
