Anna Fernsten NilénHOST
Fatoş Üstek is an independent curator, writer, and cultural leader who has directed institutions like the Liverpool Biennial, the Roberts Institute of Art, while curating groundbreaking projects like FIG.2 for the ICA in London and major editions of Frieze Sculpture.
Anna Fernsten NilénHOST
Beyond her curatorial footprint, she is a powerful voice for structural reform in the art world, co-founding Frank for Fair Artist Pay to advocate for equitable working condition and authoring the Art Institution of Tomorrow, Reinventing the Model.

So I'd love to use your curatorial practice as our main thread today, while also exploring the structures around curating and how we collaborate and how institutions might change and where the field is heading.
