PROGRAMME

1 – 2.30 pm First annual meeting for independent curators in Sweden.

How many are we? What is our working situation? Do we share common grounds, and is there reason to create more transparency between peers? Is there any governmental future plan to make the work of an independent curator clearer and more stable? In the neighbouring countries reports have been written and initiatives to organise both independent and employed curators have had effect on funding structures. Should we follow suit? Or is it time for a Nordic initiative?

Welcome to an open discussion about the conditions and needs of independent curators in a Swedish context. The initiative comes from Abir Boukhari, Ashik Zaman and Jonatan Habib Engqvist and all are welcome to participate.

2.30 – 3.30 pm Common lunch buffet. During the Lunch Hour the Common Ground video programme will be looped in the studio.

The Common Ground programme with videos and performances was originally created for an event at the Queens Museum in New York in July 2019. The context was the Trans-Atlantic Meeting on Nationalism that brought artists from Northern Europe together with peers from the Americas for three days. The complex issue of Nationalism in its many forms was processed through talks, lectures, readings and meetings. Among other things the group met one of the leading scholars on this issue the Sociology Professor Michael Hechter and discussed the situations for indigenous people in the two contexts. Curated by Susanne Ewerlöf
