The Autumn School of Curating #6

Art Encounters Foundation (Timișoara) and Cluj Cultural Centre (Cluj-Napoca) are launching an open call for the Autumn School of Curating, taking place in Cluj and Timișoara, Romania between 20–27 October, 2024. The partnership—developed collaboratively by the two contemporary art organisations—aims to strengthen international curatorial networks in the country.

The Autumn School of Curating #6 is a rigorous eight-day seminar led by renowned curator Kate Fowle, offering emerging curators an international platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and learning. Over the course of the program the participants will be immersed in the artistic context that both cities have to offer while exploring concepts and conversations around the theme Worlding: What does it mean to be ‘international’ today?

The Autumn School of Curating is free of charge and open to international candidates. The organisers will cover accommodation costs for the sessions scheduled in Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara from October 20 to 27, 2024, as well as transport costs from Cluj-Napoca to Timișoara on October 23, 2024. The courses will be held in English. Availability in person for the entire course is required in Cluj and Timișoara. 

Emerging professionals in the fields of curating and art writing, with at least three years of experience, are invited to apply for this open call. The course encourages the exploration of diverse perspectives, helping participants develop curatorial practices that are inclusive and reflective of multiple worldviews.

Applications for the Autumn School of Curating #6 are open until August 20, 2024.
