Gallery 1957 is proud to announce it is supporting the inaugural Curatorial Intensive in Accra, Ghana (19 – 25 April 2017), organised by Curators International (ICI) and in collaboration with Foundation for Contemporary Art, Ghana (FCA).
The Curatorial Intensive, a weeklong professional development program, offers curators the opportunity to discuss, among colleagues, the concepts, logistics, and challenges of organizing exhibitions, public programs, and other curatorial models. The program is designed to immerse participants in a rigorous schedule of seminars, presentations, site visits, and one-on-one meetings that support the process of developing an idea for a project into a full proposal.
It is the fifth Curatorial Intensive in Africa since 2013, following past programs in Johannesburg, Addis Ababa, Marrakech, and Dakar.
