A physical platform for creatives interested in curatorial practices at any level to meet and critically discuss their projects with the aim of generating long-lasting curatorial community in Glasgow.
Critical Compound is a participatory project that consists of periodical sessions where creative workers present and discuss together with an audience their own curatorial practices or projects.
​
During each session, one or more guests would give a 20-30 minutes presentation that focuses on their curatorial ideas or practices, followed by an informal discussion that would give the speaker/s and the audience the opportunity of critically address those ideas in a collaborative framework.
Guests will be selected voluntarily and on invitation basis.
​
While allowing curators and artists to share their experiences, Critical Compound supports the empowerment of a long-lasting curatorial community in the city of Glasgow, aiming to construct a solid platform for creative workers of any levels.
