open call for exhibition curation 2027
transmediale e.V. is inviting applications for the Exhibition Curation for transmediale 2027. The exhibition curator's central responsibility is the development of the upcoming exhibition as part of the festival’s programme.
The position invites a person or group with previous curatorial experience to critically engage with topics at the intersection of art, technology, science, society, and politics, and to contribute to transmediale’s long history as one of the leading festivals of art and digital culture. While the exhibition and the festival will be presented alongside one another, they will be curated independently, each following its own thematic focus while remaining in dialogue. The exhibition will be presented from the end of January across two halls of the Akademie der Künste in Berlin.
As the 40th anniversary of transmediale, this edition offers a chance to reflect on the festival’s legacy by connecting past and present as well as possible futures in media art and theory.
