Announcing our next public program! Join ICI and The Clemente on Tuesday, June 3 for a public conversation that explores the evolving landscape of alternative, community-based curatorial practices in New York today. Learn more and RSVP at the link in bio! Amid the current climate of political and financial uncertainty, artists, curators, and organizers are reimagining what it means to engage in projects that are not just created for communities, but emerge from them. The panel discussion brings together four cultural workers—Elena Ketelsen González (Assistant Curator, MoMA PS1), Azikiwe Mohammed (teacher and maker), Cinthya Santos-Briones (interdisciplinary artist, educator, and cultural worker), and Sienna Fekete (Senior Arts Manager, The Lower Eastside Girls Club)—who have each developed models that center kinship and belonging. They will discuss how their practices are reorienting curatorial and artistic work away from traditional methodologies and outcomes (such as the art object or the exhibition) and toward meeting material needs and building infrastructures of support, visibility, and resistance. Through youth programs, food banks, healing spaces, and other initiatives, the panelists’ work asks us to expand our understanding of what curatorial practice is and who it can serve. #ICIEvents @theclemente 📸: Clockwise from top left: Elena Ketelsen González (Photo: Fabian Guerrero) @elenamariakg, Azikiwe Mohammed @misterace12, Cinthya Santos Briones @cinthyasantosb, Sienna Fekete @siii_siii.
