AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions, in partnership with Njabala Foundation and Independent Curators International (ICI), is proposing a 6-month mentorship program for emerging female-identifying curators based in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, themed “Curating as multiplying mediation and access to culture.”
Program Overview
The mentorship aims to support emerging visual arts workers by creating a platform to develop their practice, gain resources, enhance research and discourse, and engage with established curators from East Africa and beyond. Offering opportunities to develop tools and actions to raise awareness about gender issues in the East African context, the program will support a new generation of arts workers sensitive to the place of women artists and augment the agency of female-identifying artists, curators, and educators in the region and globally.
