Emerging Curators Group

The 2022 Emerging Curators Group ran from January to October 2022. Reflecting the changing situation with regards to the pandemic, the programme included more in-person activity including sessions based in York, including a curator’s tour of the Beyond Bloomsbury: Life, Love and Legacy exhibition at York Art Gallery with its striking artist-designed installations and interventions, and a two-day trip to Manchester which included an in-depth tour of the new displays at Manchester Art Gallery, notably the Jade Monserrat installation Constellations: Care & Resistance and visits to HOME, Paradise Works and Castlefield. A list of scheduled events for the ECG programme appears in Appendix A. The ECG have been pursuing individual research, with ranging from drawing and spiritualism to the intersections of dance research, curatorial practice and community organising, utilizing BAN funds for archive and gallery visits in the UK and abroad, consultations, and training. The group have also been awarded funds to develop three collaborative projects, which will be completed in 2023
