In collaboration with EXPO CHICAGO, ICI recently announced programming and participants for the 2023 Curatorial Forum. As covered in ARTnews, this year's Forum will include the Chicago Assembly, a new initiative bringing together a small group of Chicago-based curators for workshops, discussions, and other programming before, during, and after the fair. 

As Maximilíano Durón writes in ARTnews:

"This news comes as part of ICI’s 'increased presence in Chicago,' which includes a new office in the city that is led by the organization’s Midwest programs manager, Scott Vincent Campbell."

The article also highlights this year's keynote speaker, Victoria Noorthoorn, the director of the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires. Durón continues:

"For her keynote, Noorthoorn said in an email that she will discuss the 'processes of development and transformation' that she has spearheaded at the Museo Moderno. She added, 'Against a background of economic fragility and social vulnerability, we redefined our priorities and mission to construct a museum for all; we amplified and diversified our curatorial strategies in order to further the emancipation of artistic thought and seek curatorial and social justice with a focus on equity, diversity and inclusion; and we emphasized educational access and integration, making of accessibility and mental health priority objectives in all our work.'

Building on Noorthoorn’s keynote, this year’s event will explore 'questions around the idea of care and how we rethink that word, as especially as the root of ‘curating’ and ‘curators’ and to think of care through various aspects of curatorial work, like accessibility, community engagement, labor conditions, how we took care of one another, and how museums work with artists,' [ICI Executive and Artistic Director Renaud] Proch said."
