OPEN CALL

INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL “CURATING IN CONTEXT” 2021/ Online

29.08.2021-04.09.2021

 

Curating in Context offers critical reflection on diverse socio-political and economic contexts, as well as a possibility to develop curatorial methods to rethink the practices of contemporary (performing) arts in relation to activism, self-organization and critical thinking.

Thematically, Curating in Context is related to the question of the curatorial and its extended understanding which goes beyond black or white box presentation and representation politics. The school analyzes the environment in which art is produced and disseminated, and it focuses on creation of knowledge and opportunities for practitioners who want to pursue their career as curators in the field of performing arts and interdisciplinary.

Curating in Context critically reflects on the perspectives of producing, advocating, initiating diverse models of presenting and articulating art within certain context.
