The open call is part of Hayy Jameel’s commitment to supporting curatorial research and development. Early career curators—individuals or collectives—are encouraged to share proposals that engage with the geography and history of Hayy Jameel’s location, particularly themes related to connections in and around the Red Sea—its connected geographies, histories, ecologies and the movement of people and ideas. The awarded curator will work alongside the Art Jameel team who will provide guidance and support on the exhibition’s development, production and design, logistics and installation.
