Studying Postgraduate of China-EU Cultural Curatorship at the University of Antwerp

The Postgraduate of China-EU Cultural Curatorship Studies (PG China-EU CCS) is unique in Belgium. It will provide you with knowledge, skills and competences in the field of curating and crafting culture from intercultural perspectives. Hands-on experience and immersion in the professional field through an internship in China or Europe allows you to become a skilful intercultural communicator and cultural curator. The PG China-EU CCS targets Belgian/European and Chinese students, with interest in contemporary society, culture and arts in Europe and China and the aspiration to work in the sector at the intersection of culture, art and communication.

Curating is ubiquitous today. Since the 1990s it has morphed into a creative activity. But how does one become a cultural curator? The programme aims to train you as both a knowledge creator and a intercultural communicator. You will experiment with different formats, different ways of experiencing, while creating different meanings. As a contemporary curator you will challenge old formats by re-inventing novel ones, often building on history and previous experiences. As a communicator you will convey rich curatorial data to a larger public, both online and offline.

The PG China-EU CCS is unique as it goes beyond mainstream curatorship programmes that operate within the museum sector focusing mostly on high culture. In Flanders and in Belgium in general there are a handful of curatorial studies programmes.
The PG China-EU CCS diverges from existing programmes in distinctive three ways:

1. Our programme interprets 'curatorship' in a larger sense where ‘curating’ takes place with spillovers into culture and material culture.
2. A larger geographical scope. Geographically we cover both Europe and China.
3. You will learn to interact with multilingualism, interculturalism and mobility.
