Asymmetry’s Curatorial Fellowships support curators in developing their practice and expanding their networks through fully funded placements at leading art institutions. These placements take place at partner institutions, universities, and non-profit spaces, where fellows contribute specialist knowledge and engage critically with curatorial research and institutional contexts. Fellows gain experience across responsibilities including research, writing, planning, commissioning, and audience development. In collection-based institutions, they may also work on care, documentation, interpretation, and loan management. Fellows join our vibrant community of practitioners who continue to shape Asymmetry’s programmes, research, and public dialogue.
