On December 14, the Swedish Curators’ Association organized a ‘Contract Event’ for its members, in collaboration with the MA Program in Curatorial Practice at Bergen University, led by Professor Anne Szefer Karlsen and hosted by IASPIS. The event focused on contracts for curatorial work, with “The Dream Contract for Curators” serving as a model—a dynamic document used as a pedagogical tool within the MA program to share insights and knowledge on curators’ contract negotiations and processes.
Participants gathered around a long table to engage in a critical review of the document, actively contributing to discussions on the key aspects and experiences that should be prioritized in contracts, both nationally and internationally. The event concluded with a networking session and dinner for invited guests, providing an excellent opportunity for Stockholm-based members to participate, as the previous workshop had been held in Boden earlier the same year.
