Develop your writing practice with eunice bélidor

She has written extensively about art, from curatorial statement to exhibition reviews, artists portraits and long form essays. At first, her writing mainly supported exhibitions she has curated and artistic programming she has led at articule. With time and with the need to generate more income, she wrote more often, for printed and online publications.

Today, writing is part of her curatorial research, a tool to gather information and develop critical thinking. eunice will present on her different writing experiences and offer practical advice for those who would like to include writing as part of their own practice. She will answer audience questions about different kind of writing possible (artist, or curatorial statement, essay, research-based writing, etc), as well as what it is to navigate writing in more than one language.

She holds and MA in Art History with a Graduate Diploma in Curatorial Studies from York University, where she looked at the curating of contemporary Haitian art in international cultural exhibitions after the 2010 earthquake. eunice bélidor won the prestigious Emerging Curator award from the Hnatyshyn Foundation in 2018.
