A curatorial development programme created at Bardo Projektraum to support emerging and mid-career curators working across migrant, queer, decolonial and intersectional perspectives. The residency combines mentorship, workspace, research time, studio and institutional visits, professional networking, public presentations and production support, allowing participants to develop projects in direct dialogue with Berlin’s independent art ecosystem. Longer residencies can culminate in an exhibition at Bardo, while shorter formats include talks, workshops and other public activations. Priority has been given to FLINTA curators and practitioners from the Global South, positioning the programme as a platform for curatorial development, international exchange and access to networks that are often difficult to enter from outside Berlin.
