This primarily revolves around 3 key areas.’ These key areas, Kirsten explains, begin with exploring the History of curatorial practice and ‘curating in its contemporary form’, both of which are introduced through tutor lead lectures. The next key area is explored by offsite visits, allowing students to experience a range of institutions, the variety of curatorial roles, and exhibition design strategies. Students will also meet industry professionals during these visits. The final key area is a number of practice-based workshops. ‘This allows you to get the practical element of curating and students work towards an exhibition proposal that you then present on the final day.’
