After 25 years, the fellowship for young international curators—jointly established by the GfZK and the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony (KdFS)—is coming to an end. Since 2001, the Cultural Foundation has awarded the twelve-month fellowship at the GfZK annually. Since then, 21 fellows from 19 countries have helped shape the museum’s programme and realised their own projects. Throughout the years, a vibrant international network has emerged.
The group exhibition Knots of Time, currently on view through August 23, is the final project at the GfZK as part of the fellowship.
At this closing event, Simon Kurti (current fellow), Eleni Michaelidi (2023–24 fellow), and Nini Palavandishvili (2009–10 fellow) discuss international networks and transcultural curating.
Afterward, there will be a get-together with drinks and a DJ set on the GfZK’s rooftop terrace.
