CAS and MA in Curating
The international English-speaking Postgraduate Programme on curatorial practice and theory offers hybrid learning opportunities—online or in Berlin.
The OnCurating Academy Berlin provides postgraduate and continuing education in an environment for critical curatorial thinking and new perspectives and formats of curatorial practices. Based on our activities as the OnCurating platform, we offer an opportunity to deepen and share knowledge and to grow together into a lively community of aspiring curators, artists and art administrators. The programme focuses on cooperative, interdisciplinary working methods, as employed, for example, in film productions or non-government organisations. Exhibition-making/curating means the creation of innovative structures for the presentation of cultural artefacts through interdisciplinary collaboration. In this field, art, digital media, design and architecture intermesh in new ways.
In terms of content, our topics and projects are closely related to the knowledge that is discussed on the OnCurating platform: the ever-evolving topics revolve around collective forms of curating, based on situated knowledges, on decolonising art institutions and on digital media and curating diversity, queer curating and curating through a feminist perspective, as well as urban and environmental developments reflected by curatorial practice and theory.
Online Modules on Contemporary Curating
The Online Modules on Contemporary Curating offer in-depth insights into specific areas of curatorial knowledge. They are designed for individuals involved in cultural, curatorial, and artistic interventions who wish to deepen and broaden their understanding of culture, its societal role, and its transformative potential. The courses aim to foster a comprehensive understanding of culture, art, and curating, while also seeking to push the boundaries of artistic practice.
All course lecturers are highly engaged and active in their respective fields, and further information about them is provided in each course description.
