PhD researcher Stella Sideli is one of FACT’s new Resident Curators
Philosophy PhD researcher Stella Sideli has joined Liverpool’s FACT gallery as a Resident Curator.
From the FACT website:
“Stella joins us as Research Curator with a focus on feminist and queer theories, non-extractive curating, and Global South methodologies. For her residency, Stella will use composition, voice, rhythm and movement to explore governance as practice, rather than function. She plans to work closely with the team and Board of Trustees at FACT, to embed lived experience, equity, access, and inclusion into curatorial practices.
Stella's residency includes monthly visits to Liverpool for her PhD research on Equality, Diversity, and and Inclusion in curatorial practices and cultural public programmes. Her initiatives at FACT will feature public events, podcasts, live performances, and a collaboratively created score or anthology. By treating governance as a dynamic, community-driven practice, Stella aims to foster a sense of belonging and inclusivity within the institution.
Stella's past projects, including exhibitions and collaborations at Tenderpixel, Somerset House and Castlefield Gallery, explored lived experiences and community engagement. Her approach at FACT will involve artist collaborations and innovative public programming, aiming to cultivate new understandings and practices through collective engagement and process.”
