A curatorial intensive in three questions—How do I learn? How do I act? How do I imagine?

AGENCY explores curatorial practice through three foundational questions: How do I learn? How do I act? How do I imagine? Responding to limited formal frameworks for curatorial learning and exchange in Aotearoa, the intensive foregrounds the vital role of rigorous and imaginative curatorial practice within contemporary art ecologies.

The programme combines free public lectures articulating current positions in curatorial thinking and practice, with conversational workshops (by application) that deepen and test these ideas collectively. Participants will engage in peer-to-peer learning and imagine alternative futures for curatorial practice alongside three internationally respected curators working across Indigenous art, historical collections, and contemporary practice.
