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, 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.

Interested? Send me a lil note expressing interest by August 15th -  shalonwh@gmail.com

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.
