Liverpool Biennial/British Council: Curator’s Week for Curators from Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia (UK)
As part of a shared commitment to enhancing learning and collaboration between UK and international curators, Liverpool Biennial and the British Council are offering eight fully funded opportunities to attend a curator’s networking and development week (22–29 July 2025), within the 13th edition of Liverpool Biennial.
Successful recipients will attend a week-long research and development trip to Liverpool (UK) at a key point in the festival. The week is designed to offer opportunities for discourse, inspiration, knowledge and skills exchange, and to encourage Curators to build professional relationships with one another and their UK-based peers and artists.
Across the week, recipients will have the opportunity to participate in a number of curated talks, workshops, trips, studio visits, presentations and events, all of which aim to facilitate sharing and connectivity between practices and geographies. There will also be an opportunity to discover the broader cultural scene in the North of England with a day trip to Bradford City of Culture 2025.
Participants will also have the opportunity to contribute to the digital resource journal Stages, alongside the ongoing evaluation of the programme.
Eligible countries are: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
There is funding available for return economy flights and UK travel, visa applications, accommodation, and per diems (5 GBP for breakfast, 8 GBP for lunch, and 8 GBP for dinner where food is not provided) for a 7-night trip to Liverpool. The programme also includes a trip to Bradford City of Culture 2025, and free entry into a number of exhibitions, performances, and events. There is an accessibility budget available for those who have access requirements and require provision. A full access rider will be issued, and Liverpool Biennial’s Access Liaison Officer will be happy to help you.
