Curator in Residence
CounterPulse’s Curator in Residence program (CIR) is an incubation residency and exhibition program for artists, curators, and organizers who are deeply curious about the intersection of visual art practice and social change. CounterPulse trains curators working at the nexus of visual art and community organizing. The residency was developed to counter gatekeeping around curation as an arts practice. Through work-in-progress critique sessions, discourse events, and guided logistical planning, CIR culminates in a dynamic exhibition that is concurrent and in conversation with our performance programming. CIR produces exhibitions that proudly situate themselves in the historically low-income, trans, and Black neighborhood of the Tenderloin in San Francisco, which CounterPulse calls home.
