Grains of Sand Like Mountains on view at Kunsthal Gent
Curatorial Studies is an intensive one-year postgraduate programme covering key positions, legacies, ideas, and debates important to the curatorial. By drawing on the expertise of a broad network of cultural practitioners and institutions, the course aims to facilitate an environment in which a multiplicity of perspectives and critical discourses can thrive. Established in 1999, the programme is the result of a collaboration between KASK & Conservatorium/ School of Arts of HOGENT and Howest, Ghent University, S.M.A.K. – the contemporary art museum in Ghent, and Kunsthal Gent.
