Art Advising 101

With Avi Cicirean, Matthew Stephenson, Mia Legenstein, Andrei Jecza

A look inside the mechanics of collecting and how collections take shape. How taste is built and reworked over time. What an art advisor actually does. Less a rulebook, more a way of navigating.

Networks and Methods: On Building Resilient Artistic Ecosystems

How can artists and curators build support systems beyond traditional institutions, and what models sustain long-term collaboration?

This conversation explores collaborative, peer-to-peer, and self-organized practices, from residencies and independent initiatives to publishing and artist-led projects, that enable research, exchange, and experimentation. It examines how networks connect resources and knowledge across contexts, fostering mobility and cross-cultural dialogue.

Focusing on alternative funding, co-operative structures, and community-led initiatives, the session highlights practical approaches to building resilient, inclusive, and non-hierarchical artistic ecosystems.

Storytelling within a Schizophrenic Culture

With Dorian Electra, Günseli Yalcinkaya, Aaron Moulton

The image is unstable. Information is compromised.
“What is reality?” starts to feel less philosophical and more like a daily test.

Linear narratives break down. So do the systems that used to hold them in place. Across journalism, hyperpop, and exhibition-making, this conversation looks at how storytelling adapts, becoming tactical, fragmented, and responsive.

Curatorial Summit is one of the first moments that sets the tone for RAD each year. A space for exchange, for first impressions, for getting to know the scene.

Over the past two days, 34 curators have been moving through the city, from gallery tours to studio visits, discovering the Romanian contemporary art scene, one encounter at a time.

RAD Curatorial is made possible with the support of : Austrian Cultural Forum Bucharest, Institut Français de Bucarest, Goethe-Institut Bucharest, Istituto Italiano di Cultura Bucharest, the British Council, and the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York, alongside our mobility partner .romania and our strategic partners.

If Cities Don’t Build Culture, Who Will?

With Alexandru Chira, Mihaela Păun, Suzana Vasilescu

What responsibility does a city hold in shaping its cultural life?

Between public infrastructure and independent initiative, the lines are increasingly blurred. Institutions, curators, galleries, and platforms operate in overlap, negotiating how culture is produced, supported, and sustained.

A conversation on how cultural ecosystems are built at city level, through policy, initiative, and long-term vision.
