Inclusive curating – perspectives from the festival and gatekeepers
What is inclusive curating and how is it implemented in a festival context? What does the future of outsider art in museums look like? These are some of the questions that will be addressed at the OAF X HAM Talks on Wednesday, 23 August. Warmly welcome to listen and discuss!
Time: Wednesday, 23 August, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Place: HAM Sali
OAF X HAM Talks focuses on inclusive curating and exhibiting outsider art. In the seminar, the OAF team will present the festival’s inclusive curating process. Perspectives on curating outsider art will be provided by gatekeepers in the art field: the Helsinki Art Museum HAM team; Christine Langinauer, curator and amanuensis from Vantaa Art Museum Artsi; and Jussi Koitela, Programme Manager at Frame Finland. The event will be hosted by outsider artist Panu “Prinssi” Palm. There will also be plenty of time for discussion – come and share your thoughts!
After the seminar, we will organise an opening event for the visual programme of the festival in the HAM lobby from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. We welcome all participants of the seminar to this event as well, to meet the artists of the festival, and enjoy coffee!
