The Forum brings together leading institutional and independent curators, gallerists and art managers. This international event will feature discussions and presentations on current curatorial practices as well as the first Art Weekend in Russia. During the Art Weekend galleries, art spaces and workshops of artists will open up to a wider audience for an “open day”.

In 2020, the forum turns to educational practices in museums and other cultural institutions such as museum pedagogy and art mediation. Additionally, the forum will pay attention to more general issues related to the production of knowledge in the sphere of contemporary culture.

The main program this year includes: an online project Symposium* on the topic "Educational U-turn. Who Else Produces Knowledge in Culture?" Art Weekend and special projects which are: take-away exhibition "Zine as Exhibition: Postcovid", Studio Studies project including 20 video interviews with St. Petersburg artists in their workshops, and an internship program for university students of Saint Petersburg.
