The seminar reflects on perspectives of curating and making exhibitions in Berlin. The course involves visiting Berlin’s museums, galleries, and project spaces. The colloquium provides conversations with Berlin based-curators and artists. It allows students to explore and understand the contemporary curatorial practice of the city by visiting and analyzing different institutions, reading theoretical texts, and developing a practical case study. The topics focus on urban culture, contemporary arts, and queer studies. The course is ideal for future researchers and cultural workers that want to explore the work of curatorial research and exhibition-making. The work performed by the student includes readings, group discussions, and curatorial writing strategies, and it concludes with a conceptualization of making an exhibition proposal as a final project.
