Get matched →Asymmetry and Nottingham Contemporary announce the inaugural Assistant Curator Fellowship, a two-year programme beginning April 2027. This fellowship offers an early-career curator the opportunity to develop practical curatorial experience within a leading contemporary art institution, combining hands-on work with space for independent research, experimentation and public engagement.
The fellow will be embedded within Nottingham Contemporary's curatorial team, contributing to exhibitions, artist commissions, live programmes, research, writing, and institutional development. A distinctive aspect is the opportunity to help shape new strands of the institution's live programme. The fellow will also participate in Asymmetry's wider community and be encouraged to develop and present their own research through Asymmetry's programmes.
Open to an early-career curator with knowledge and experience of contemporary art, curatorial practices, and cultural ecosystems, who to any extent identifies with Chinese or Sinophone cultures or backgrounds.
