Tolia Curriculum
James Richards, Screening
Thursday, June 18, 2026, 7 to 9.30 pm

To mark the final chapter of Tolia Curriculum, artist James Richards—a longstanding collaborator of Tolia Astakhishvili—presents a screening program. 

James Richards (b. 1983, Cardiff, Wales) works in Berlin. His practice encompasses expanded film, video, and installation. Richards’ provocative and seductive moving-image works collage together a wide range of source material, ranging from intimate home movies, archival footage, and television signals to rich musical soundtracks. Richards often collaborates with other artists, either as a composer, visual artist, or curator. 

Tolia Curriculum is a project conceived by Georgian artist Tolia Astakhishvili, unfolding as a daily schedule of workshops, lectures, screenings, readings, and participatory formats for children and adults. In the lead-up to Figure of the Child, her largest exhibition to date, Astakhishvili opens her production and installation process to the public as she develops her work in situ.
