Guslagie Malanda, general coordinator of C-E-A (French Organization of Curators) will open and moderate a debate around some of the main objectives of the organization: federate curators to constitute a source of proposals for decision-making bodies, public bodies and international cooperation institutions; structure the activity of curators in order to be activists in the field of contemporary arts; initiate and lead projects to develop the activity of curators; build reflection on the parameters and challenges of curating. <br />
C-E-A is a curators member association gathering about three hundred members, a hundred of which take an active part in its conduction each year. Founded in 2007, the purpose of C-E-A is to lead any kind of action liable to promote the activity of curators in France, in Europe, and all over the world. In this view, the aim of the association is to impulse, develop and grant visibility to the projects that nourish a reflection on the parameters and stakes of curating.
