Training course
Realization: Days 19/11, 26/11, 03/12, 17/12, 14/01.
Objectives: The Maria and João Aleixo Institute, in partnership with the Moreira Salles Institute, proposed a project for networking and training in the field of art and culture, consisting of workshops on the themes of artistic curation - in visual arts, literature, cinema and music - and "art as work", with interviews with invited teachers and students, and a mapping of peripheral artistic scenes. The training had as protagonists, young residents of favelas and peripheries, preferably black.
The training took place in five days, one day for each theme. Each day had two mentors who had 4 hours each to mentor the participants. The objective was that the first mentoring was a theoretical explanation about the challenges of curatorship in their respective artistic expressions, since the demands for more racial, gender and peripheral representation are necessary. The second mentoring of the day aimed at a theoretical explanation of the mentor’s curatorial process, or the various other curatorial methodologies in their areas. In the mentorships of "Art as Work" the themes Project Development, Fundraising and Social Media, were made on the same day and had respectively 2 hours each to be developed. The goal was for the mentors to make an explanation about the main points about the themes and the possibilities of optimizing them.
