Fundación Proa colabora en este programa en la organización de visitas a talleres y encuentros profesionales, invitando a curadores argentinos a presentar y acompañar a los curadores invitados.

El proyecto es sencillo y directo: invitar a nueve curadores de arte contemporáneo oriundos de España y América Latina a mostrar y discutir su obra en Buenos Aires y Santiago de Chile, en sesiones públicas. Ellos abordarán su trabajo de modo concreto, y más que hablar de arte, teoría o curaduría en general, discutirán su labor específica de modo semejante a lo que suelen hacer los artistas en sus charlas ilustradas acerca de sus obras.
El ciclo invita a compartir y discutir la experiencia de profesionales muy destacados, con curadores, críticos, artistas, organizadores culturales y estudiantes de Buenos Aires y Santiago.
