Dear all,
The other week we had our 9th conversation session - thanks to all who joined us! A special thanks to Sofia Steinvorth who led the conversation on the topic of curatorial routes with a specific lens on academia.
We are happy to share here a recording of the conversation with you all, in which Sofia shared with us her journey into curation and academia, which included insights into her PhD research on questions of cultural and curatorial infrastructure as well as artistic practices that develop through collective processes of knowledge production. Please note below the reference list related to the talk.
Comments on this post as a means to continue the conversation are very welcomed. Here are the prompts proposed by Sofia in our live discussion:
We hope you enjoy the recording and look forward to inviting you to the next session soon.
Warm wishes,
Luamba & Clementine
