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.

Tundé Adefioye is a performing arts dramaturg and lecturer. He is a Nigerian-American based in Belgium. He co-founded the youth platform Urban Woorden in Leuven (BG) and was awarded the Prize for Cultural Education by the Flemish Government. In 2016, he began working as “city-dramaturg” for KVS in Brussels. He has done dramaturgy for projects including Malcolm X and (Not) My Paradise.

In recent years, he has been delivering lectures and speeches, among others at the 2018 IETM plenary meeting in Portugal, at the Wales Arts International’s conference, at the European Theatre Convention meeting in Dresden. In 2019, he made his directorial debut with Contact Theatre Manchester, with the piece Old Tools > New Masters ≠ New Futures. Additionally, he is a lecturer of Cultural Criticism and US Popular (Black) Visual Culture at St Lucas Antwerp Art college. In 2020 he was co-editor of the VUB Poincaré book Migration, Racism and Equality: 44 Opinions.
