Applications are now open for the RMB Latitudes CuratorLab 2026, a mentorship programme for early-career curators across Africa. Now in its fifth year, the programme will select ten participants for a facilitated online residency offering one-on-one mentorship, professional development, peer networking, and the chance to conceptualize an exhibition project. The initiative is run by Latitudes in partnership with Art School Africa, with a deadline of 10 July 2026.
This programme matters because it addresses the critical shortage of professional development opportunities for emerging curators on the African continent. By combining mentorship, practical training, and exhibition-making in an accessible online format, it helps build a stronger, more connected curatorial ecosystem across Africa, fostering new voices and diverse perspectives in the global art world.
