Opening words from Martin Myrone, Jessica Wan, Cicely Robinson, Rhona Sword and Lauren Craig. These are followed by Drafts, a series of recitations from disabled and/or migrant curators that focus on the concept of ‘gut knowledge’, as a way of doing and thinking which relies on trust, intuition and flexibility (within a Disability social model) – evidencing how the curatorial in itself is neurodivergent. We then have a series of Rapid-Fire Presentations looking at co-production in regional art collections, reflections and findings from a community curation experiment, and access and authority in the arts in relation to podcasting.

This panel discussion brought together representatives from four UK organisations who are curating contemporary visual art in a festival format and has been convened by Liverpool Biennial as part of an ongoing investigation into the future viability and sustainability of the festival format in the visual arts. The panellists discuss the positives of delivering for ‘the moment’ and how one festival programme can embed or instil the necessary groundwork to sustain a festival’s future; the unique challenges of curating festivals, sustainable futures and programming across diverse venues and in response to place.

Chair: Marie-Anne McQuay (Arts&Heritage)

Panellists: Annie Jael Kwan (independent), Kim McAleese (Edinburgh Art Festival) and Ian Sergeant (University of the Arts London)

This concluding plenary roundtable brought together individuals at different stages of their careers to reflect on some of the wider issues around curatorial practice over the last years. Thinking specifically about curating in the wake of the momentous events of 2020-21 and in the context of the present political climate, the panel considered the possibilities for the future of the field.

Chair: Sarah Victoria Turner (Paul Mellon Centre)

Panellists: Leanne Green (Tate Liverpool), Jazz Swali & Marta Marsicka (Backlit Gallery) and Melanie Pocock (Ikon Gallery)
