'Accessibility in Curating: a Framework'
Online course by Node Center


In support of our community and art professionals during the global outbreak of COVID-19, we are offering a 20% discount on all of our courses. Discount code: #stayathome


COURSE DESCRIPTION

Exploring the notion of disability arts as the 'last avant-garde' movement, as coined by Turner Prize-nominated artist Yinka Shonibare, this course considers how the inclusion of disability arts 'crips' or productively disrupts, arts and culture. Through a series of case studies and on the ground explorations that interrogate access and disability culture, we will explore how this movement is giving rise to new curatorial practices that are shaping new and exciting standards of artistic excellence.

Over four weeks, curators and arts programmers will learn standards and strategies for ensuring that their projects are accessible. Further, we will go beyond accessibility strategies to discover the subversive, innovative and exciting possibilities that accessible curatorial practice gives rise to.


*Video conferences every Tuesday at 7pm CEST. Recordings will be available in case you miss a live session!
