CuratorLab is Konstfack's curator course for professionals and the students, inspired by feminist writer Sara Ahmed’s Queer Phenomenology, invite the audience to a reorientation of the school's architectural, institutional and social premises. The entrance to the school is changed for a week and a "Dialogical Space" is created for conversation, performativity and exchange in its center. The exhibition as a whole manifests a continuous negotiation between the individual, the collective and the institution.
The CuratorLab 2021/22 students are: Chen Shuyu (Malmö), Una Mathiesen Gjerde (Oslo), Lovro Japundžić (Zagreb), Lauren Johnson (Stockholm/Elk Glade, Colorado), Matilda Kästel (Stockholm), Lina Louisa Krämer (Mainz/Berlin), Martin Ku (Berlin), Reyhaneh Mirjahani (Gothenburg/Tehran), Res (Stockholm/Brooklyn), Eleni Riga (Athens), Marta Świetlik (Warsaw), Krisztián Gábor Török (Budapest) under the guidance of Course Director Joanna Warsza and Head of Exhibitions Anne Klontz with the support of Curatorial Assistant Vasco Forconi (Rome/Stockholm).

Studio Benedetta Crippa's visual identity revolves around a ray of light that forms a landscape where we can celebrate and re-orient together. It's also a celebration of the ability of the human mind to stay fertile and resilient in spite of the unexpected in life.
