Join Elham Puriya Mehr and Viviana Checchia, the director of Derry Void, Ireland for a conversation focused on curatorial conviviality

For the second event, join Elham Puriya Mehr in conversation with Viviana Checchia, the director of Derry Void, Ireland. This talk will focus on curatorial conviviality and how that can be explored through various formats and devices. Conviviality will be considered here as a condition for social interactions, specifically those connected with hospitality. The talk will share a variety of practical examples though focus principally on Vessel Art Project. Vessel’s practice will be explained and unpacked as embedded in an ongoing act of hosting and being hosted manifesting itself through public programming, commissioning and writing.In the last 12 years Vessel has participated and contributed to shaping an understanding of curatorial practice epistemologically connected to a locale (or locality) though not by default based within it, therefore questioning a different sense of hospitality and conviviality. We will explore what the ethics of a convivial approach might be, and consider the agency and responsibility of curators, artists, and publics.Viviana Checchia is a curator, programmer, and researcher active internationally. Viviana is Director of Void Art Centre in Derry, and Co-Director of ‘Vessel’, an international curatorial platform based in Puglia, South of Italy, for the support of social, cultural, and economic development through contemporary art.
