Emerging Curator Mentorship 2021: Micro-(bial) Tenancies

Micro-(bial) Tenancies is a multi-platform project delivered through an evolving and staggered program of conversations, events and material incubations and interrogations online 18 Dec 2020 – 31 Mar 2021 and on-site at Blindside 24 Feb – 13 Mar 2021.

Through an expanded view to microbial processes of disease and fermentation, Micro-(bial) Tenancies centres feminist and queer practices concerned with ethics and gestures of hospitality.
