Exhibition setup for Between Lands: Migration as Transformation in Oct 2025.
The Sub+ Youth Curators Programme aims to develop aspiring curators, writers, and researchers of contemporary art through practical opportunities in our programmes and presentations, with guidance from The Substation’s team of arts managers, curatorial advisors, and programmers.
2025 Programme
The first edition was born out of our residency partnership with Fondation la Roche Jacquelin, whose alumni artists are featured in the current exhibition, Between Lands: Migration as Transformation. Together with curatorial advisors from the Fondation, Iola Lenzi and Jean-Louis Morisot, The Substation is delighted to introduce and support emerging curators of independent art, alongside the development of artists in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
With support from the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF), our co-presenter for Between Lands: Migration as Transformation, as part of the Asia-Europe Cultural Festival 2025.
