"2020 has been a year of pause and remedy, of re-envisioning and calibration. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Experimenter Curators’ Hub. We feel the times we are in, implores us to introspect and self-reflect. Keeping the spirit of reflection in mind and to look back at the role time played on curatorial practice, we have invited a key participant from each prior iteration of the Hub to return and share how time has transformed their conceptual anchors, collaborative processes and the cultural infrastructure that sustains exhibitions as 'form-ideas’. Under the current circumstances of being amidst a pandemic, the hub will be conducted entirely digitally. The online format allows for a wide range of audiences, unbound by geographies and clock-time, yet tied by a shared vision for our future," remark Prateek & Priyanka Raja, Directors, Experimenter.
