Overview
Key Facts
The CuratorLab course offered by Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design is the oldest curatorial education course in Sweden and remains a platform open to everybody with curiosity to challenge and present new curatorial practices. Every year we work on one common topic where everyone contributes in an own way.
Under the working title "the North", a group of ten participants will travel to Umeå, Luleå, Jokkmokk, Kvikkjokk, Boden, Kiruna and other places to meet with artists and other cultural practitioners. The trip will take place in early autumn 2023 and it will be followed by three intensive sessions in Stockholm, online gatherings and possibly separate trips by smaller groups to selected locations. In April 2024, the participants will be invited to curate various formats of events - public programs, screenings, performances and/or exhibition projects at and with Bildmuseet and other initiatives across Northern Sweden.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
The north is a place where the politics of extraction meet the need to cultivate vernacular ways of being.
- What do these conditions mean for life in the region?
- What are the implications for the climate, the landscape, for the Sámi as well as for others living and working there?
- What can art and curating bring to the table, and how?
- We are exploring radical approaches to engagement, contributing to the pertinent conversations of our times, practicing curating beyond exhibition making and applying horizontal learning.
- One of our leading questions is how to understand our interdependence in relation to our own individual power and creativity?
