Two Dutch curators will be part of the Curatorial Exchange Program of the EXPO CHICAGO. The program was launched in 2018, and offers mid-career and established international curators the opportunity to engage closely with their peers and with EXPO CHICAGO’s more than international exhibitors while exploring Chicago’s cultural landscape through a tailored four-day program. The two Dutch participants are Zippora Elders and Bas Hendrikx.
