This two-semester programme (2024–25) comprised seven workshops addressing exhibition history and design, contemporary curatorial discourse, decolonial and participatory practices, art funding, public spheres, curatorial writing, and digital curating. Theoretical discussions were combined with exhibition analysis, funding applications, communication exercises, social-media campaigns, and the development of students’ diploma projects.
The curriculum included study trips to Barcelona and Córdoba (2024), focused on ecological and post-exhibitionary practices, and to Lugano and Milan (2025), examining inclusion and outreach in contemporary art institutions. The programme concluded with written submissions and diploma presentations by Evgeniia
