Within the framework of the Mentorship Program for East African Curators, the participants presented their curatorial and research projects, developed over the past six months with guidance from their mentors and input from their peers. The event marks the conclusion of this mentorship program, which has supported six emerging arts workers by creating a platform to develop their practice, gain resources, enhance research and discourse, and engage with established curators from East Africa and beyond.

This symposium offers an opportunity to hear directly from the participants as they share the ideas and questions that shape their projects and broader practices. The presentations reflect a range of approaches and perspectives, rooted in the specific contexts in which the curators are working across East Africa.
