At least two decades into the ‘curatorial turn’, and after successive declarations about the ‘post-curatorial’, the ‘para-curatorial’ and the curator’s mutation into artist (or vice versa), the field we share as curators, researchers, activists and artists of different generations and different experiences continues to transform. While decolonial initiatives, eco-critical awareness and social justice claims may be foregrounded as never before, these sit alongside public sector cuts, unprecedented professional precarity and exhausting ‘culture wars’.
This conference, which took place in November 2024, provided an opportunity to share experiences, reflect and connect in a convivial atmosphere.

This panel discussion brought together representatives from four UK organisations who are curating contemporary visual art in a festival format and has been convened by Liverpool Biennial as part of an ongoing investigation into the future viability and sustainability of the festival format in the visual arts. The panellists discuss the positives of delivering for ‘the moment’ and how one festival programme can embed or instil the necessary groundwork to sustain a festival’s future; the unique challenges of curating festivals, sustainable futures and programming across diverse venues and in response to place.
Chair: Marie-Anne McQuay (Arts&Heritage)
Panellists: Annie Jael Kwan (independent), Kim McAleese (Edinburgh Art Festival) and Ian Sergeant (University of the Arts London)
