Curating & Repair is published in partnership with NOUA (Bodø, Norway), Double Dummy (Arles, France) and the Finnish Museum of Photography (Helsinki, Finland). The publication is a result of a three-year, collaborative project, Out of the Metropolis - Art Exchange Across Borders.
Co-founded by Creative Europe, the project supports innovation and knowledge exchange in the co-creation and circulation of contemporary visual art, with a particular focus on photography.Edited by Orlan Ohtonen and Anna-Kaisa Rastenberger. Art Direction & Design Sarah Boris.

Curating & Repair explores contemporary curatorial practices and exhibition-making as contexts for dialogue, exchange and the remaking of social and cultural relations through repair. It seeks actionable insights into how artistic work, its mediation and the institutions that support it might be mobilised toward more sustainable and interdependent worlds.

Taking flight from perspectives on translation, solidarity and power, Curating & Repair approaches mediation both as contested terrain and generative possibility. It discusses the importance of challenging normative power relations in artistic collaboration, alongside the difficulties of sustaining creative work against the undertow of multiplying global crises. By aligning the curatorial with the dialogical, it calls attention to the serious, collective work that we as artists, mediators and publics have at our hands.
