"RAD Curatorial created a meeting point between curators, artists, collectors, gallerists, and the larger audience developing a series of discussions on important topics, carefully selected by the team of this section of the fair. I appreciated a lot the plurality of voices and the range of themes, from memory and otherness, to curating change. The guest curators came from different backgrounds and had different typologies, from museum curators to freelance practitioners, allowing us to expand our knowledge and to learn from each other."
