Curating the Village

Curating the Village is a pilot project that aims to bring together Toronto-based curators and cultural workers who are also parents or caregivers.

Running from Sept 2025–March 2026, this curatorial study group will ask (amoung other things):
• What does it mean to curate with children, or elders, not around them?
• How can we work from lived entanglements, not separation?

Sessions are relaxed, flexible, and child-inclusive. Modest honoraria, childcare, and access support are included. Outcomes may include zines, conceptual sketches, or tools for future intergenerational exhibitions.

Curating the village is supported in part by Balancing Act Canada and Mothra Artist-Parents project as part of the Level UP! initiative. Balancing Act supports artist parents and caregivers in Canada by advocating for greater equality, accessibility, and inclusion within the arts workforce.
