Come on a journey under the care-filled guidance of Next Wave’s Artistic Directorate, to consider how motivations like time, Country and experimentation influence our approach to curatorial practice and intergenerational knowledge. 

In small groups, you will explore the library and surrounding areas to re-imagine Next Wave’s Curation as Care model together. Through conversation and playful prompts from the Artistic Director leading your group, you’re invited to uncover new ways to connect and relate with others.

This event explores Next Wave’s ‘Curation as Care’ model, guided by values of Justice, Friendship and Care. The model itself seeks to ask more questions than providing answers. It sparks curiosity about our understanding of concepts such as trust, connectedness, pace, and productivity, ultimately urging us to challenge the inherent bias that exists in curation. Is information always what it seems? Does knowledge alone invite change?
