Join ICI, Njabala Foundation, and AWARE on June 27th for a virtual public symposium featuring presentations by participants in the Mentorship Program for East African Curators. Over the past six months, the participants have been developing innovative curatorial and research projects with guidance from their mentors and input from their peers. This event marks the conclusion of the mentorship program, which has supported six emerging arts workers by creating a platform to develop their practice, gain resources, enhance research and discourse, and engage with established curators from East Africa and beyond. Offering opportunities to develop tools and actions to raise awareness about gender issues in the East African context, the program has uplifted a new generation of cultural workers sensitive to the place of women artists and augment the agency of female-identifying artists, curators, and educators in the region and globally.
This symposium offers an opportunity to hear directly from the participants as they share the ideas and questions shaping their projects and broader practices. The presentations reflect a range of approaches and perspectives, rooted in the specific contexts in which the curators are working across East Africa.
This program will take place on Zoom, and is open to the public to attend. To receive the Zoom link, RSVP here.
Full symposium schedule coming soon.
