Tashkeel hosts monthly online lectures on specialised topics by industry experts who share their personal experience and knowledge. These lectures are designed to give artists and designers critical tools to further their professional development and careers.

In this lecture, Ryan Inouye, associate curator of the 58th Carnegie International and former senior curator at Sharjah Art Foundation, will discuss recent curatorial projects as well as considerations that have shaped the development of large-scale, biennial-format exhibitions, which he has worked on within US and UAE contexts. Traversing both practical and conceptual terrain, the presentation will focus on the process of working closely with artists to produce new work that is born out of different temporal, cultural, geographic, and institutional contexts. The lecture will conclude with time for a robust Q&A session and discussion, and will be of particular interest to independent artists who want to understand the process of having a solo exhibition or dedicated arts-related event.
