What does it take to operate as an independent curator and to work effectively and creatively within established arts organisations?

Expert curators Charlotte Bonham-Carter and Sarah McCrory investigate:

• The processes behind planning exhibitions
• Commissioning new work in challenging spaces
• Touring exhibitions and biennales
• Critical writing
• How to navigate networks and institutions as an independent curator
