Curators in Flux

About

OPEN CALL Curators in Flux Founding Edition A 6-Week Hybrid Curatorial Laboratory **Berlin, Germany | February-March ** **Applications are now open.** Curators in Flux is a six-week hybrid professional development programme designed for emerging curators who wish to expand their curatorial practice through research, critical dialogue, mentorship, and direct engagement with Berlin's contemporary art ecosystem. Bringing together a small international cohort of **4–6 curators**, the programme combines four weeks of online learning with two immersive weeks in Berlin, culminating in a collective public exhibition. Rather than offering a conventional curatorial course, Curators in Flux creates an experimental learning environment where participants critically examine contemporary curatorial practice while building meaningful professional networks across institutions, artist-run initiatives, and independent cultural spaces. Programme Structure Phase I Online Laboratory **4 Weeks** The online programme creates a collaborative space for research, discussion, and project development. Participants meet several times each week through workshops, lectures, mentoring sessions, and peer discussions. The programme includes: • Curatorial methodology workshops • One-to-one mentoring sessions • Group critiques • Artist and curator talks • Reading seminars • Curatorial writing workshops • Exhibition development • Peer learning sessions Throughout the online phase, participants gradually develop the curatorial concepts that will later be realised collectively during the Berlin residency. Phase II Berlin Laboratory **2 Weeks | Berlin** The second phase takes place entirely in Berlin. Participants immerse themselves in one of Europe's most dynamic contemporary art scenes through an intensive programme of institutional visits, artist studio visits, workshops, and collaborative exhibition production. The programme includes: Institutional Visits Participan
