VAI Lifelong Learning | New Event | Demystifying the role of the Curator | 13 July, 11am (webinar) 1-5pm (Clinics)

Curator Kate Strain returns to deliver a webinar and supporting clinics that takes a closer look into the role of the curator; research interests, how to connect, collaborate and programme through your work and your practice.

Kate Strain is the founding director of Kunstverein Aughrim, a curatorial production office located in County Wicklow, Ireland. From 2016–2021 she was artistic director of Grazer Kunstverein, Austria, where she curated large-scale collaborative projects, seasonal exhibitions, performances, productions and publications. In close collaboration with artist Fiona Hallinan, Strain is co-founder of the Department of Ultimology, a research body dedicated to the study of that which is dead or dying. Working alongside Rachael Gilbourne, Strain makes up one half of the paired curatorial practice RGKSKSRG.

The events are supported by Kildare County Council Arts Office and are free to visual artists based in the county. VAI members (€5) and the general public (€10) can also attend the webinar.
