The aim of the project Curating in Context is to develop curatorial training with a strong focus on social impact through the involvement of local, regional and international actors, targeting individuals as well as cultural and civic organisations. The project aims to create educational resources and methods for use within the university and for the further education of cultural workers and citizens through strategies resulting from practices of performing arts and curators. Through methods of cross-pollination of know-how and best practices from the performing arts and civil society, the project also aims to collate the impact of the cultural and civil sectors on society.
› Navigate between institutions, art organisations, civil society and the free-lance sector.
› Enable and support sustainable self-employability.
› Innovate fund-raising capabilities.
› Manage artist-led initiatives.
› Create educational material that highlights reflection and engagement with art through context-related perspectives such as production conditions, programming, organisation, governance, artistic practice and culture, the economy, the socio-political and cultural environment, and other institutional structures.
... training and the professional environment in the civic and cultural sectors. It opens the partner institutions towards the “invisible” knowledge of self-organising, local engagement and transversal learning. Furthermore, it aims at increasing mutual understanding and institutional ability to dialogue and support artists, art organisations and initiatives, locally and internationally. Last but not least, it increases the exchange of best practices between northern, western, and southeastern European regions.
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 material produced during the Curating in Context project is a basis and invitation for new contributions available as a compendium for curatorial practice.
