Defining your Vision

Through reflection and exchange with others, you will explore your curatorial practice. The focus on content from the dual perspective of cultural theory and music practice offers plenty of space to explore new ideas, reflect on the developments of the past years, and transform your practice into something new.

Over 18 online sessions, you will enrich your own ideas through inspirational presentations and discussions with guest speakers, fellow students, and ArtEZ lecturers. As a part of the course, you will also help put together and present a small library made up of literature from the fields of music, cultural theory, sociology, and psychology; in short: everything that could be relevant to your practice as a music curator. In doing so, you will transform your insights and ideas about music practice and curatorial possibilities, and provide yourself with consultational and theoretical resources to aid your future practice. A final position paper on your personal vision of either yourself as a curator or an aspect of music practice with further curatorial potential, including a programme idea, will reflect the results of this study.

Curatorial Leadership and Management

The Curatorial Practices in Music programme consists of two parts, each of which can be followed independently (if you meet the admission requirements). The course Curatorial Leadership and Management takes place from September to January.
