In this masterclass on literary curatorship Tundé Adefioye will tackle these topics: How to develop a practice as a freelance curator? How to work around a theme? And how to integrate different art forms and theatric conventions?
In the context of the international talent development program CELA, deBuren and Passa Porta are organizing a unique specialisation course on literary curatorship. In a series of 5 online Zoom masterclasses we are welcoming renowned speakers from the Belgian and Dutch literary field. After a presentation and in some cases an exercise, there will be time for questions and discussion.

He co-founded the youth platform Urban Woorden in Leuven (BG) and was awarded the Prize for Cultural Education by the Flemish Government.
