curatorial hotline - curatorialhotline.art/

Pandemic-related events compelled us to find ways to relate differently towards each other and to the world around us. We are currently witnessing the global need within the art communities to re-connect, to form another dimension of social cohesion and interaction, where responses to ongoing inequity, precarity, and verticality in various fields of art production are needed more than ever. As a reaction to these problematics we, an informal group of like-minded art-professionals coming from different contexts and with diverse backgrounds, launched a collective initiative and a call for solidarity named curatorial hotline. Since May 2020, each member of our polylingual collective devotes several hours of their time per month to video calls of about 45-60 minutes with emerging artists and art workers or those lacking regular follow-up, and those who feel disconnected or isolated. During these meetings, we share ideas and references, exchange about work experiences, or simply talk.
The appointments are given by curators on a voluntary basis, and without preselection. The time slots are usually released at the beginning of each month.
