📋 Description
• Develop the intellectual and artistic framework for each exhibition — the central thesis, the selection of artists and works, and the curatorial argument that holds them together. • Discover, evaluate and select contemporary artistic positions from across Pakistan, balancing established names with emerging voices, and ensuring relevance to both the work itself and the European context it will enter. • Build and maintain trusted relationships with artists, studios, collectives and institutions across Pakistan; negotiate participation, loans and commissions. • Translate the concept into a concrete exhibition: checklist of works, spatial and sequencing logic, interpretive strategy, and the design of accompanying dialogue formats. • Write exhibition texts, wall labels, catalogue essays and interpretive material to a publishable, professional standard, in English. • Liaise with Darwaza's European partners on feasibility, framing and presentation; advise on what is artistically and logistically realistic. • Oversee condition documentation, provenance clarity, and the curatorial paperwork required for international loans and exhibition. • Conceive and help moderate the talks, panels and conversations that accompany each exhibition — the 'dialogue' at the heart of Darwaza. • Represent Darwaza with credibility and discretion within the Pakistani cultural sector, and help position the forum as a serious, respected partner.
🎯 Requirements
• A Master's degree in Curatorial Studies, Art History, Fine Art, Museum Studies or a closely related field. • A minimum of 5 years of professional curatorial experience, with a portfolio of independently conceived and delivered exhibitions. • A demonstrable track record of curating exhibitions for museums, biennales, major galleries or institutional settings — not solely commercial gallery shows. • Deep, current knowledge of the contemporary Pakistani and wider South Asian art scene: the artists, the discourses, the institutions and the histories. • Excellent written English and the ability to produce curatorial and catalogue texts to a publishable standard. • Proven ability to work independently and lead, while collaborating across cultures, time zones and institutions. • Strong existing relationships within the Pakistani art world and the credibility to deepen them on Darwaza's behalf.
