Curators of art will have a chance to learn from the experts at Warehouse421

The initiative is in conjunction with Bombay Institute for Critical Analysis and Research.

Calling all artists and aesthetes, applications to be a part of the Curatorial Development Exhibition Program Open Call: Screening Screaming: (Human) Nature in Crisis are now open.

Inviting curators from MENA and South Asia to propose a group exhibition, public programme and publication on the theme, the Warehouse421 and the Bombay Institute for Critical Analysis and Research (BICAR) initiative will see selected curators mentored so they can build and hone their programmes throughout the year.

Running in Autumn 2023, chosen curators will read discuss the history of the Anthropocene, consider and redress potential blind spots in in how ‘Anthropocene Art’, philosophy, and politics are being conceived, exhibited, activated, and legislated, threatening the good intentions that motivate these practices in the first place.

Guest speakers, critics, artists, and curators will include Moza Almatrooshi, Ho Rui An, and Jitish Kallat, alongside other scientists and researchers.

The deadline for submitting applications is 15 May 2022.
