Curatorial Catch Up - SAT 2 MAY, 2-4PM at TE URU LEARNING CENTRE
You are invited to join Tim Riley Walsh for an informal curatorial catch-up and conversation. This session offers a chance for practitioners to come together and reflect on what feels important or pressing in their work right now.
Beginning with whakawhanaungatanga, the gathering will move into an open, peer-led discussion exploring the ideas, contexts, and experiences shaping curatorial practice across different cultural settings. Participants are invited to share perspectives, questions, and approaches in a spirit of openness and curiosity.
Designed as a relaxed and supportive space, this forum aims to encourage meaningful exchange, build connections, and nurture a sense of shared inquiry.
