Are you actively curating art—whether in a museum, gallery, heritage context, or as an artist-researcher or freelancer? Are you currently based in the UK, or North or South America, including the Caribbean?
Does your research practice engage with the art and history of Britain, in the context of the Atlantic World, African Diaspora, and/or empire and its legacies?
Do you want to spend time exploring collections and curating, sharing your experiences, and engaging in forward-looking debates?
Organized by the British Art Network (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and Tate) and the Yale Center for British Art (YCBA), the Forum will be based at the YCBA in New Haven, CT, from Sunday, October 5, through Wednesday, October 15. The Forum will bring together a group of up to eight people from a range of backgrounds and working contexts at different stages of their careers.
Scheduled to coincide with a major exhibition of the work of Hew Locke at the YCBA, the Forum is intended as an opportunity to share experiences and thinking from a range of perspectives—across national, organizational, and professional boundaries. We are hoping, specifically, to include individuals with different experiences of working in British, US, and Caribbean contexts, with Hew Locke: Passages and the YCBA collections providing a focus for reflection and exchange.
The deadline to apply is Monday, March 3, 11:59 pm ET.
