An online six-week intensive course tailored to young Arab curators exploring a curatorial career in the GCC region.

The course is a six-week online intensive program tailored to young Arab curators exploring a curatorial career in the GCC region. Five young curators will be selected to participate in sessions designed and led by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath. The program will examine a wide range of approaches to curation by focusing on both theory and practice. The lectures are designed to give context to curating in alignment with a regional perspective. This course will provide participants with a valuable opportunity to gain constructive feedback on their exhibition proposal via a one-to-one critique session, alongside weekly group lectures by practicing professionals in curation.
