Project:
On 9 November 2016 International Curators Forum in partnership with University of the Arts London launched two 22-month long projects tackling the under-representation of curators and artists from diverse backgrounds at senior levels in the visual arts in the UK. Ten curators and twelve artists based in the UK were selected as the result of an open call and will work closely with ICF Creative Director David A. Bailey and Head of Programmes Jessica Taylor. During the project, participants will take part in one-to-one mentoring with leading professionals, have the opportunity to take part in group masterclasses and forum, attend conferences and embark on international site visits. The twelve selected artists will showcase their work in the first ever Diaspora Pavilion during the 57th Venice Biennale (May 13th – November 26th 2017) alongside their mentors. A selection of works from exhibition will then travel back the UK so as to be accessible to local audiences.
