In group discussions, you will consider a range of example organisation’s vision, aims, ethics and values. You will also discuss their working practices and their local and global context (these examples are outlined below according to your Group). You will also consider how these commitments manifest through public programming, curation, curatorial themes, accessibility/availability of the space, financial structure, relationships with audiences, artists worked with, demonstrations of care, policies and organisational structure.

You will be asked to consider:

• where and how aims and ethics match up with programming and practice
• complexities, conflicts and/or contradictions in practice.
