A central development for Fakugesi Festival 2020 is an Africa-wide Digital Art Curator Bootcamp. This seven-day, online experiential bootcamp aims to power up the curatorial focus of curators, producers and advocates of digital creativity in Africa. The bootcamp will be followed with an opportunity for participant curators to send proposals for the commission of five online exhibitions in the #POWERTOTHEPIXEL focus.
The 7 session (29 July – 6 August 2020, daily for 2 hours from 5-7 pm) online experiential bootcamp will power up your curatorial focus to develop an exhibition proposal for these five Fak’ugesi Festival 2020 exhibition commissions. The focus is on digital and interactive digital arts for online engagement. The bootcamp will focus on honing your curatorial vision, enabling you in exhibition conceptualisation and narrative and conceptual planning, introducing you to digital exhibition design best practice and helping you sharpen your exhibition budgeting and production management skills.
By the end of the bootcamp you will have a fully fledged proposal to submit for consideration in the Fak’ugesi Festival 2020 Exhibition Commission.
