This Studio Museum seminar (held via Zoom and Google Classroom) is a series of educational workshops aimed at supporting museum professionals looking to incubate, ideate and network. The program promotes discussion, interaction and exposure with special attention to skill-building and career-readiness. Weekly readings will be assigned to help steer conversations around relevant topic areas - which include cultural specificity, curatorial practice, arts administration, education and public programming.

Applications are welcome from undergraduates, graduate students and early-career professionals seeking opportunities to broaden their knowledge of the field.

The opportunity is paid, with participants receiving a $250 honorarium for completion of the program.

The Congo Biennale created by the Congolese visual artist, Vitshois Mwilambwe Bondo and organised by the Kin Art Studio, is an international art event dedicated to contemporary visual arts. For this year,  September 10th - October 24th, 2021, the Biennale will become a must-attend event on the Congolese art scene with a great impact on the international scene. Through its theme, “La Souffle des Ancestre” (The Breath of the Ancestors), the Biennale will celebrate the links between Africa, its diasporas and Afro-descendants, our common roots and the diversity of cultural and artistic expressions. It is also a remarkable opportunity to develop renewed artistic exchanges between the Americas, the Caribbean, the Congo, and the countries of the African continent.  Paris-based curator Amelie Dakouo and Atlanta-based artist/curator  Fahamu Pecou, PhD were recently announced as this year’s co-curators.
