CURATOR COHORT
About
Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator (DVCAI) in partnership with The Hambidge Center, announces the launch of its 2022 Diasporic curatorial cohort program. Spearheaded by DVCAI President | Curator, Rosie Gordon-Wallace with generous support from partner Hambidge Deputy Director, Ife Williams, the project, entitled From The Outside-In Curator Cohort| DVCAI at Hambidge, will take place from November 7 – November 12, 2022, at Hambidge Center for the Arts in Rabun Gap, Georgia, U.S., where DVCAI is the new Artist-in-Residence Partner and a SouthArts Southern Cultural Treasure 2022.
DVCAI at Hambidge aims to redefine the ways we curate, offering new perspectives on global art histories beyond the Western European and North American canon. The project invites ten early and mid-career curators who are based in Belize, Montreal, Miami, Tallahassee, Seattle, Suriname, London, and Guadeloupe to convene and to document peer-to-peer exchange around artistic curatorial ideas by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color & Queer) curators. DVCAI at Hambidge focuses on wellness and professional development for these curators. It works to build a consensus for future projects that are developed through a transnational lens and incorporates the contemporary artworks of recommended Diasporan artists.
Rosie Gordon-Wallace along with Diasporic scholar, Alix Pierre, Ph.D. welcome the participation of Grace Ali, Eunice Bee, Esq., Amanda Bradley, Luisa Múnera, Lise Ragbir, Jenni Lewin Turner, Miguel Keerveld, Ilona Smiling, Berette Macauley, and Marie Vickles.
