QAYYEM is an intensive programme for emerging curators seeking to discuss notions of education, self-organization and deep adaptation, as well as methodo- logies of hope in the arts and beyond. Up to six curators and researchers will be invited to meet three times over a period of six months to explore different forms of curatorial knowledge, individually and collectively, working together with internationally renowned curators, thinkers and practitioners. Between meetings, participants will be asked to develop a possible presentation of study under the guidance of the curatorial team. After the third and final session, all participants will be invited for a research residency during which they will be supported to work on a curatorial proposal. 

Applications are restricted to candidates with 1-2 years of professional experience. Curators and researchers from the Middle East, North Africa and the Arab diasporas are encouraged to apply.

Candidates selected for the programme will receive a subsidy to cover travel and accommodation costs for the sessions. Upon completion of the course, all participants will receive a residence fellowship. 

Participants are required to submit a finalized curatorial proposal within four weeks after the end of the programme, which will be used in an upcoming publication about QAYYEM.
