Curatorial Workshop with Women Mobilizing Memory and NLE Lab
In collaboration with Women Mobilizing Memory, No Longer Empty presents Critical Curatorial Workshop, a two-part workshop that aims to foster a critical conversation about models of art activist production and initiatives. Critical Curatorial Workshop will begin at Columbia University’s LeRoy Neiman Gallery at 12pm for a curatorial walk-through of Collaborative Archives: Connective Histories. The workshop continues at Nathan Cummings Foundation at 2pm for a curatorial walk-through of Bring in the Reality, followed by presentations and a moderated round-table discussion on the relationship between community and activist engagement; the role of testimonial as counter-narrative; the preservation of memory through critical strategies; and artists’ responses to historical recurrence.

About NLE Lab:
The NLE Curatorial Lab (NLE Lab) is a 15-week professional development program for emerging curators interested in gaining hands-on experience curating a site- specific exhibition. Expanding on No Longer Empty’s mission, NLE Lab is designed as a socially conscious platform for experimentation in curating. The program is supervised and guided by the No Longer Empty curatorial team, and culminates in the production of a collaboratively curated site-responsive exhibition in an underutilized space in NYC. This year’s program takes place in the South Bronx.
