On the 30th of October, the CCA held the first of its new Spirals virtual seminar series talks between the Centre for Curating the Archive (CCA) and the Centre for Anthropological Research on Heritage and Museums (CARMAH) in Berlin.
The Centre for Curating the Archive is delighted to welcome its new Research Fellow, Dr Duane Jethro. A graduate of Utrecht University, Jethro has been repatriated from Berlin, Germany, where he has been a post-doctoral researcher in the project “Making Differences: Transforming Museums and Heritage in the 21st Century”, at the Centre for Anthropological Research on Museums and Heritage, CARMAH, at the Humboldt University Berlin.
The programme offers courses in the theory and practice of curatorship, developing in students a sophisticated awareness of the practicalities, politics and poetics of working with collections of many kinds. Students are encouraged to bring the disciplinary insights of their undergraduate major (whether this be in the visual arts, the humanities or the sciences) to the curating of both material and virtual collections, and are offered opportunities to work on exhibitions in public spaces and in the digital realm.
In July 2020, Dr. Carine Zaayman was selected for a coveted postdoctoral position in the transnational project “Worlding Public Cultures: Museums in an Age of Decolonization”.
