ICI is partnering with the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, a non-profit contemporary arts institution based in Turin, Italy, to open their 2024 Young Curators Residency Program to curators based in Africa for the first time.
Founded in 2007, the Young Curators Residency Program (YCRP) consists of intensive research residencies in Turin, Italy or Madrid, Spain that have the dual objective of developing the professional and critical skills of the young curators selected, while aiming to spread knowledge of the Italian and Spanish art scenes on an international level. The Turin and Madrid residencies provide the opportunity for selected candidates to meet and work with Italian or Spanish artists, respectively, and further the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo’s commitment to the national contemporary art as well as its engagement with emerging curatorial practice. The in-depth research process, which sees the curators visiting over 200 artists’ studios, museums, and art institutions under the guidance of an Italian or Spanish curator, culminates in an exhibition curated with the support of the Fondazione's team.
We're honored to join the several renowned academic curatorial programs partnering with the Fondazione in selecting the next cohort of YCRP curators. This call invites Africa-based Curatorial Intensive alumni to apply for the Fondazione’s professional development and cultural exchange programs in Madrid, Spain. The program will take place during the first half of 2024.
