In this edition of Convo Club, two young curators join us at the Künstlerhaus to talk about the peculiarities and challenges of curating. Victoria Dejaco and Iris Kasper are both art historians and have gained vast experience in a number of institutions and off-spaces here in Graz. They will talk about their work history, share insights into this exciting field of work and answer questions by the audience.
