Join us for an exclusive curatorial masterclass with Dr Felicity Fenner, curator of exhibition People Like Us.
In this masterclass Fenner will delve into finer detail about the practice of curating contemporary exhibitions. The complexities and issues that arise in contemporary curating will be examined through the lens of People Like Us. Curatorial fundamentals such as developing exhibition rationales, artist engagement and exhibition text preparation will be explored.
