## Description

The Lagos Biennial presents the inaugural Curatorial Lab Lagos, an intensive three-day program led by Adam Szymczyk. This experimental platform aims to question inherited exhibition models and imagine new curatorial futures, responding to the Biennial's 2026 theme, "The Museum of Things Unseen." Participants will engage in collective discussion, site visits, presentations, and workshops to explore how curatorial practice can rewrite institutional histories and challenge dominant narratives. The program is open to early- and mid-career curators aged 20–35 from around the world. International return flights, local transportation, and participation are fully funded, though participants are responsible for their own accommodation, visa fees, and upkeep.
