FUTURΛ is an invitation to reinvent curatorial practices: a peer-to-peer space for imagining possible futures with courage, care, and an openness to what has yet to be named. A seminar for programmers, artists and cultural practitioners, FUTURΛ offers a space for listening, critical exchange and experimentation, responding to the urgent need to rethink curatorial practice today. From an intersectional feminist perspective, it brings together professionals from the performing arts in a gathering dedicated to curating as an artistic, political and social practice.
