CFC Members Programs
Dear Call for Curators Members,
Join us for our last Members’ Program of the year on Thursday, December 9 at 6.30pm Berlin time.
Led by Node instructor and curator Dr. Hesperia Iliadou and presented in collaboration with Node Center, the talk will focus on how to develop texts and narratives for the interpretation and presentation of exhibits and collections in galleries and museum spaces.
During the talk we will focus on shared authority in curating and writing, and on the process of co-creating with local communities and international audiences to generate meaningful exhibitions with texts and narratives that challenge past histories and re-assess conflicting realities.

She has been acting Commissioner for the Venice Biennale since 2014 and Curator of the Inaugural Exhibition for the European Capital of Culture in 2017. Iliadou studied at NTU Athens, the University of London, the Sotheby’s Institute of Art, the City University of Hong Kong and the Research Center for Museums, the University of Leicester and has taught at international academic institutions. Her research focuses on social engagement practices and community participation in museums and the curatorial process of co-creating exhibitions.
