Participants will investigate themes such as time, fieldwork, language, materiality, speculative platforms, alt‑economy, and instituting, developing experimental “non‑exhibitions” and transdisciplinary projects. The course offers mentorship, project development support, and a Certificate in Expanded Curatorial Practice. Two full need‑and‑merit‑based scholarships are available to promote equitable access.
