We work with partner organisations in the UK and internationally to deliver our programmes.

Art Exchange: Moving Image

A professional development and exhibition programme for early to mid-career curators from Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Together, they will learn from and interpret the British Council Collection's moving image works.  Each curator will then present an exhibition in their own country of their selected works from the British Council Collection, in dialogue with local contemporary artworks. ​ 

Biennials Connect: Delegations 

Biennials Connect brings together international early and mid-career curators to support curatorial practice, professional development, and international collaboration.  The programme focuses on in-person delegations at one or two international biennials each year, supported by a year-round online programme. 

In 2022 we hosted a delegation to Venice Biennale for early and mid career curators from the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.

In 2023, we will host a delegation at Liverpool Biennial.

Biennials Connect: Grants 

Biennials Connect Grants will be open for application each autumn between 2022-25. Organisations in the UK and internationally can apply for grants of up to £10,000 to support visual artists’ participation in international biennials. Eligibility and criteria will be published each year.
