Curatorial Mentorship Program

The Indigenous Curatorial Collective / Collectif des commissaires autochtones’ (ICCA) Curatorial Mentorships provide a national initiative of the ICCA designed to nurture the next generation of Indigenous curators through mentorship, collaborative exhibition-making, and critical discourse. Rooted in Indigenous knowledge, peer-led learning, and collective curatorial practice, this program fosters meaningful relationships between established Indigenous curators and emerging voices in the field.
