Opening: Thursday 8 January 2026, 18:00
A white, empty space at MOMUS-Museum of Contemporary Art and its collections were the literal and metaphorical meeting and starting points for the participants of the workshop "Together We Curate!”, the fruit of which is the exhibition entitled "65+ The Adolescence of a Visual Curatorship" which is presented from 8 January to 15 March, 2026.
People coming from different backgrounds, professional fields, studies, and life paths, with a cohesive element of love for art, aesthetics, and creation and sharing the common feature of being 65+, began their journey into the unknown and fascinating world of visual art curation with the museum's people as companions, in the museum space that was given to them as blank slate to speak about what touches them most.
The team came into direct contact with the museum's collections, discovered less expected dimensions of the artworks, explored theoretical and practical issues of collection management and contemporary exhibition approaches, provided practical answers to visitors' persistent questions, and ultimately experienced group curatorial practice and the co-creation of a real exhibition that narrates the stories that the team felt inspired by.
The workshop “Together We Curate!” consists one of the first bold attempts at participatory exhibition curation with the museum audience in the field of culture in Greece. Through this specific project MOMUS-Museum of Contemporary Art celebrates the diversity and openness, as well as the experience and perspective of the public, implementing co-decision processes that actively promote the democratization of culture. The first implementation took place at the MOMUS-Experimental Center for the Arts in 2021.
