HONOURS IN CURATORSHIP offered by The Centre for Curating the Archive at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in collaboration with IZIKO MUSEUMS OF CAPE TOWN. The programme will offer courses in the theory and practice of curatorship, developing in students a sophisticated awareness of the practicalities, politics and poetics of working with collections of many kinds. Students will be encouraged to bring the disciplinary insights of their undergraduate major (whether this be in the creative arts, the humanities or the sciences) to the curating of both material and virtual collections, and will be offered opportunities to work on exhibitions in real spaces and in the digital realm. A major aim of this programme is to introduce students, through seminars, fieldwork and workshops, to the central skills of a curator: to understand objects and how to research them, to work with collections,
and to articulate them in exhibitions. Art and art history graduates are particularly, though not exclusively, invited to apply. The course will prepare students for both further postgraduate study and for work as art curators, museum
educators, collection managers, critics, dealers and for positions that require the use, display and manipulation of collections more broadly. For students who wish to have some exposure to the practices of curating, conserving and working with collections, they may opt to register for individual courses. A limited number of bursaries (of not less than R20 000 each) are available upon application,
as well as 10 travel bursaries to an overseas museum destination.
Application deadline for 2013 is 30/09/2012.
