This course offers hands-on experience in curating an academic one-day festival and two themed exhibitions. Students will explore the principles of curatorial practice, from concept development and research to spatial design and public engagement. Through collaborative planning and real-world implementation, participants will gain practical skills in event coordination, exhibition-making, and audience outreach within academic and cultural contexts.
- Develop curatorial concepts: Students will learn to conceptualize and articulate curatorial themes that connect scholarly content with social impact.

- Plan and execute cultural events: Students will gain practical experience in organizing, managing the logistics and production of an academic festival and two public exhibitions.
30
+
- Collaboration and team management: Students will work in teams to curate events and dynamics, integrating diverse perspectives and areas of expertise.
31
+
- Design engaging narratives and visitor experiences: Students will explore strategies to create meaningful and accessible narratives that engage varied audiences.
32
+
- Reflect on Curatorial Practice: Students will critically assess the social, academic, and cultural impact of their curatorial decisions.

**The Atlas of Weak Signals - A collective inquiry and embodied research of emerging signals**

This workshop focuses on developing and testing co-design methodologies for the creation of new cards for the Atlas of Weak Signals card deck. Students will engage in embodied research activities aimed at exploring alternative and pluralistic futures to identify and visualize weak signals — emerging trends or phenomena that may have significant impacts in the future. Through collaborative design exercises, the students will actively participate and shape the AOWS co-design methodology. Students will gain insights into embodied research methodologies – while contributing to the expansion of the Atlas of Weak Signals card deck.

This workshop focuses on collaboratively reviewing the Atlas of Weak Signals, reviewing its relevance and collaboratively updating Signals through their research and insights. Students will engage in embodied research activities aimed at exploring alternative and pluralistic futures to identify and visualize weak signals. Through collaborative design exercises, the students will actively participate and shape the AOWS co-design methodology. Collectively, we will use digital and analog collage techniques to design the new cards, which will be added to an online repository.

Each team will be tasked with prototyping a new area of the Atlas of Weak Signals (AOWS) along with its connected cards (up to five weak signals). Throughout this process, teams will reflect on the factors that may have hindered their ability to think critically and explore unconventional ideas. They will consider the tools and resources necessary to uncover unseen and unheard stories, allowing them to identify weak signals effectively. By critically evaluating their approach and identifying potential barriers they are invited to think beyond conventional boundaries and how to include pluralistic approaches in their design practice.
