As an extension of the A/ACR, the curatorial exchange program is about ARTWORKS building partnerships with like-minded institutions in order to create a two-way communication channel through which the participants will be able to expand their curatorial perspectives, influence and reach.
The inauguration of the program has been launched in collaboration with SAHA Association (Türkiye), highlighting the importance of keeping the dialogue open, through art and culture, between the two countries whose histories have been interconnected.
Through an intensive and well-curated program, the visiting curators will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the host country’s art ecosystem during a six-week residency.
📍 Athens Residency: 2 May – 13 June 2025
📍 Istanbul Residency: 22 September – 31 October 2025
The program will spotlight the practices of emerging, mid-career and established artists based in Athens and Istanbul who might have had limited opportunities to showcase their work abroad to international peers and colleagues.
