Curating in Context by Martin Sonderkamp

‘Curating in Context’ addresses the challenges of curating contemporary art beyond curatorial approaches inherited from the visual arts. Tanzfabrik Berlin, Lokomotiva Skopje, Stockholm University of the Arts, and the University of Zagreb co-organised the two-year EU funded Erasmus+ project. It aims to enhance curatorial training focused on social impact by engaging local, regional, and international stakeholders, including cultural organisations. The project uses strategies from the performing arts to develop educational resources for universities and ongoing training for cultural workers and citizens. It fosters critical reflection on socio-political and economic contexts and promotes curatorial methods that connect performing arts with activism and social movements. The project's meetings, public events, and resources will emphasise collaborative learning between politics and art valorisation.

ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM

WHAT IS THE ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM?

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. Its content draws on interdisciplinary academic and cross-sectoral approaches and methods through curating that allow interlinking specific local contexts with international perspectives. It is suitable for education and training in academic as well as in cultural and civil society settings.
