University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa
Deadline: 30 October 2015
The Centre for Curating the Archive at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in collaboration with Iziko Museums of South Africa, is calling for applications.
This 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. 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 will be offered opportunities to work on exhibitions in real spaces and in the digital realm.
A limited number of bursaries are available, awarded on the basis of both merit and need.
Deadline for submissions no later than 30 October 2015.
All potential applicants are advised to look at the UCT postgraduate noticeboard for details of bursaries and scholarships and to apply for these timeously. www.uct.ac.za
