Nowadays, curating a project means dealing with multiple platforms and it is important to know how to choose and use them in an informed way that is in line with the project itself. So, what differences are there between the narrative possibilities of the various channels such as the web, exhibitions, books, films and social media? How do they relate with each other? What public can they reach out to and how can they involve them? And which scenarios do new technologies open up?

The course will answer these questions while taking a particular look at projects relating to documentary and social practices. It will investigate the link with the field of art, examining the curator’s role in projects that involve artists and the community, and will pay particular attention to the role of the online dimension to try out new possible manners of participation. In the three days, the participants will be involved in a practical exercise in which they can work in contact with artists to devise new multidisciplinary projects.

What you will learn

that every presentation platform has its own narrative potential (think of what and how the web can tell a story compared to a book or an exhibition compared to a film)
to assess the various (im)possibilities provided by public spaces with respect to spaces formally set aside for art
that the curator has to know how to adapt their role according to the project type and above all has to be able to relate correctly with the artists and the people or communities involved in the projects
to put together artistic projects linked to documentary and social practices centring around themes such as inclusion and sharing
