Curatorial Dictionary (tranzit.org/curatorialdictionary) is an ongoing, long-term, collaborative research project that was initiated in 2012 by tranzit. hu in Budapest. In the first phase of the project, the Curatorial Dictionary working group endeavored in the open access, online, Hungarian and English language dictionary to interpret some of the most frequently used but hardly clear-cut concepts of globalized curatorial–contemporary art discourse. The dictionary thus far includes terms such as collaboration, the educational turn, or the white cube. In the dictionary, there are also suggestions for—the often missing—Hungarian equivalents of the English terms.

The theme of tranzit. hu's next Free School for Art Theory and Practice is the second phase of the Curatorial Dictionary project. The focus of this two-day workshop is curatorial and art practices mostly from various locations in the region loosely defined as Eastern Europe. Participants, together with the Curatorial Dictionary working group members and invited international participants, will explore exhibition/project examples as case studies from the last 20-25 years, as well as concepts and questions pertaining to the (cor)relations of curatorial and art practices in the 'East' and 'West' of Europe, also touching upon the interpretations of East/East-Central Europe as a geographical and geopolitical region. The workshop is organized to take collectively a closer look at (globalized) curatorial/art discourses from the perspective of East European curatorial/art practices. The Free School program allows for a place of sharing various viewpoints and experiences, collaborative work, and potentially for a discussion process, where participants are invited to actively shape the second phase of the Curatorial Dictionary project.

With the participation of the Curatorial Dictionary working group members:

Balazs Beothy, artist, curator, and editor of the online art magazine exindex, Budapest; Nikolett Eross, curator, currently a member of the curatorial team of the OFF-Biennale Budapest; Zsofia Frazon, ethnographer, Museum of Ethnography, Budapest; Eszter Lazar, curator, assistant professor at the Art Theory and Curatorial Studies Department of the Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Budapest; and Eszter Szakacs, curator, tranzit. hu, Budapest, editor of the Curatorial Dictionary.

And the invited international participants of the Free School of Art Theory and Practice workshop:

Sasa Nabergoj, art historian, curator, critic, assistant director of SCCA–Ljubljana, head of World of Art–School for Curators and Critics of Contemporary Art; Emily Pethick, director, The Showroom, London; and Magda Radu, curator, art historian, co-initiator of Salonul de Proiecte, a curatorial program of the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest.
