Thematically, “Curating in Context” is related to the question of the curatorial and its extended understanding, which goes beyond black or white box presentation and representation politics.

  ARTISTS AND CURATORS TALKS///  Barbara Bryan, Executive director of Movement Research New York, independent art producer and curator/// presentation of her work as a curator and executive director in Movement Research///   ABSTRACT:   As the Executive Director of Movement Research, my role is to innovate curatorial and programmatic structures that hold space for the amplification of artists’ voices in curation and programmatic planning. My goal is to conceive fluid and malleable formats that support evolving and emergent practices, and new voices in the field. Questions that I ask from a curatorial framework are how to be responsive, rather than reactive, to evolving discourse and trends in experimental dance and the intersections of socio-political contexts and activism? How do we develop frameworks that have flexibility built in to the fabric of the format, and thus are not formulaic, but rather are ideations that can be stretched, reshaped and reimagined by artists.

    ARTISTS AND CURATORS TALKS /// Dena Davida, PhD, postmodern dance practitioner as a performer, improviser, teacher, researcher, curator and writer ///  Presentation of Turba Journal for curating in live arts ///   Abstract: Turba is the first journal for the study, theory, and praxis of curatorial strategies in live arts. In it's pages, we will create a platform for the exploration of ideas, concepts, constraints, expectations, and contingencies which guide and drive curatorial practices. Through this biannual hybrid publication we seek to connect, amplify, and contextualize those movements and voices in which the past, present and future of live arts is experienced and imagined. Turba will serve as a seismographic observatory for the impact of the live arts on societies and cultures around the globe.The first issue poses the seminal question 'Why curate live arts?' and is launched in spring 2021.
