WELCOME
The project Curating in Context aimed to create educational resources and methods for use within the university and the further education of cultural workers and citizens through strategies resulting from practices of performing arts and curators. Through procedures of cross-pollination of know-how and best practices from the performing arts and civil society, the project also aimed to collate the impact of the cultural and civil sectors on society.
LEARNING CONTEXTS
The consortium of Curating in Context consists of the NGOs Tanzfabrik Berlin and Lokomotiva, Skopje, as well as the Higher Education Institutions Stockholm University of the Arts and University of Zagreb.
New formats of creating, presenting, disseminating and valorising artistic works are needed to match current local and global entanglements. Curating in Context will create knowledge and opportunities for future curators to critically reflect and address different socio-political and economic contexts and develop curatorial methods to rethink the practices of performing arts in relation to the civil sector.
RESOURCES
Throughout the project’s lifetime three intellectual outputs were developed.
COMPOSTING is an interactive tool for knowledge sharing and production, for stimulating innovative learning resources and teaching materials when curating in context is concerned, and a guide for all interested in this topic.
The ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM provides a more complex, multi-voiced view on contextual curating. It combines theoretical and academic perspectives on curatorial practice in non-artistic contexts with cultural and civic sectors.
A sustainable COURSE/CURRICULUM “Curating in context” for students and teachers to provide long-term cooperation and continuous dialogue and development.
