Becoming a curator aware of cultural dynamics | Diventare curatrici e curatori consapevoli delle dinamiche culturali
Today, curators operate in a context that requires an awareness of those intercultural dynamics, power relations and asymmetries that have marked history. Moreover, curators are required to understand how such factors translate into the tangible form of the curatorial gesture, in the design of material and immaterial spaces.
This course will train professionals to be capable of planning the curation of cultural heritage in the broadest sense – inclusive of visual arts, architecture, archaeology, visual cultures, and ethnographic universes – from an intercultural perspective. Graduates will be able to operate in cultural contexts characterised increasingly by the centrality of intercultural relations and dynamics, the growing critique of Eurocentrism and colonial dynamics, the openness to other cultural horizons and the examination of issues of cultural appropriation, the re-elaboration of colonial events and memories, and cultural circulation in a global geographical dimension. The course provides both theoretical and operational skills, developed in educational workshops with professionals who operate in intercultural perspective.
This course stands out in the way in which it combines curating, interculturality, and design, thereby offering a training programme that is unprecedented within the Italian academic context which benefits from its unique location in Venice, a well-known international center for the arts. After graduating, students will be able to work in public and private cultural institutions as curators capable of understanding and reproducing in an exhibition context the transcultural dynamics that have crossed
historical eras, in particular the ideological constructions related to exoticism, orientalism, colonialism, and the construction of otherness.
The programme is undergoing ministerial accreditation.

Le curatrici e i curatori si muovono oggi in un orizzonte che richiede consapevolezza delle dinamiche interculturali, delle relazioni di potere e delle asimmetrie che hanno segnato la storia e, soprattutto, comprensione di come esse si traducano nella forma sensibile del gesto curatoriale, nella progettazione di spazi materiali e immateriali.
Il corso forma figure capaci di progettare le attività di curatela dei beni culturali in senso ampio – arti visive, architettura, archeologia, culture visuali e universi etnografici – in chiave interculturale. Le laureate e i laureati saranno in grado di muoversi in un orizzonte culturale caratterizzato da una ormai affermata centralità dei rapporti e delle dinamiche interculturali, dalla crescente critica dell’eurocentrismo e delle dinamiche coloniali, dall’apertura verso orizzonti culturali altri e da un confronto coi temi dell’appropriazione culturale, dell’elaborazione di vicende e memorie coloniali, della circolazione culturale in una dimensione geografica globale. Il corso fornisce sia competenze teoriche (cultura visuale, teorie dei media, semiotica, East-West Relationships, tra gli altri), sia competenze progettuali sviluppate nei laboratori didattici con professioniste/i del settore che lavorano in questa prospettiva.
Il corso trova la sua specificità nel cortocircuito tra passato e presente, nell’intreccio tra curatela, interculturalità e dimensione progettuale, offrendo un programma formativo inedito nel panorama italiano e un rapporto unico con Venezia, polo internazionale delle arti.
Dopo la laurea potrai lavorare in istituzioni culturali pubbliche e private operando come curatrice/curatore capace di comprendere e restituire nella concezione del gesto espositivo le dinamiche transculturali che hanno attraversato le epoche storiche, in particolare le costruzioni ideologiche relative all’esotismo, all’orientalismo, al colonialismo, alla costruzione dell’alterità.
Il corso è in fase di accreditamento ministeriale.
