This workshop focuses on curatorial skills and navigating power dynamics within cultural programming. It is designed for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of how curatorial decisions shape not only the presentation of art and music but also the broader social and political context in which they exist.

Drawing from the curatorial approach at Le Guess Who?, Bethany Andrzejak will share insights into what they call “radical programming,” an approach that challenges conventional power structures, amplifies voices that are systematically excluded, and fosters community-driven curation. Through interactive exercises and case studies, participants will explore topics like positionality, the redistribution of resources, and the complexities of curating in politically sensitive spaces. By the end of the workshop, attendees will gain practical tools for approaching curatorial work with a critical eye, equipped to navigate and challenge power dynamics while fostering inclusive, thoughtful, and ethical programming.
