Fellowship

Curatorial Studies at KASK in Gent and Jester collaborate on offering a yearly curatorial fellowship in which one of the alumni of CS KASK gets the chance to work at Jester and develop a project.

The 2023 Fellowship is given to curator Alexandra Tryanova, who started at Jester as an intern in 2022. She finished her CS KASK studies with an inspiring exhibition. Since Alexandra was closely involved with the development of our conversation series Conflict Zones, we decided to give her the first renewed Jester fellowship.

Alexandra Tryanova will develop Conflict Zones into a podcast, and closely work with Orlando Maaike Gouwenberg on the development and implementation of the Law Fellowship.

The open call for the 2024 fellowship will be spread by CS KASK amongst their alumni. The fellowship is a paid fellowship.
