Handwerker Gallery Director Mara Baldwin has been invited to attend the Independent Curators International Curatorial Forum from September 26-29 in Chicago.
Partnering with EXPO CHICAGO on this relatively new program, the forum will bring together 30 curators from 18 US states, with the goal to foster strong national and regional networks for curatorial and institutional collaboration, encourage critical thinking, and reflect on practices that are responsive to local art communities while inscribed in a global art discourse. Baldwin has been invited to present and workshop with a small group of peers issues of Labor, Working Conditions, and the Museum, following her work to gain and sustain W.A.G.E. compliance for the Handwerker Gallery with exhibiting artists and culture-makers.
