“For the sixth consecutive year, Para Site is working with a group of emerging curators, writers, critics, researchers, and other art professionals from Hong Kong and abroad, throuah a series of closed-door workshops and studio visits. As a consequence of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, for the first time the workshops are being conducted online. Nevertheless, acknowledging the value of face-to-face experience and of the unscripted in-between moments central to learning, this year’s participants will also be invited to join next year’s workshops, which we hope to be able to organise physically in Hong Kong. The programme is as ever, designed to provide learning and thinking opportunities, mediated by reputed art practitioners, as well as being a labratory for experimentation, posing fundamental questions that challenge various models of curatorial practice.”
