Recipient of the 2014 ICI Curatorial Fellowship

ICI is pleased to announce Sumesh Sharma, a Mumbai-based curator, as the 2014 ICI Curatorial Fellow.

As ICI’s 2013 Curatorial Fellow, curator and critic Miguel Amado will develop and share knowledge about African contemporary art, including both North and Sub-Saharan Africa and the Diaspora, in order to enhance curatorial expertise about this realm.

The first ICI Curatorial Fellow, Sofía Olascoaga, continues her collaboration with ICI which began in February 2010 with the publication of ICI’s first DISPATCH.

Reflecting the evolving landscape of the art scene in Central America and the Caribbean, this platform will be updated as new information becomes available.

about ici

Independent Curators International (ICI) supports the work of curators to help create stronger art communities through experimentation, collaboration, and international engagement. Curators are arts community leaders and organizers who champion artistic practice; build essential infrastructures and institutions; and generate public engagement with art. Our collaborative programs connect curators across generations, and across social, political and cultural borders. They form an international framework for sharing knowledge and resources — promoting cultural exchange, access to art, and public awareness for the curator’s role.
