From 2024 to 2026 Vancouver New Music will be leading On Curation – a curatorial mentorship project focused on developing and sustaining work and research related to new curating practices in sound and music.
Mentors Raven Chacon (Diné), Peter Hatch (BC), Laura Netz (Spain/UK) and Aki Onda (Japan/US) will work one-on-one with four emerging Canadian curators to develop programming that will be presented as part of Vancouver New Music’s 2025-26 season of events.
This project will encourage explorations, dialogues and reflections that might bring new perspectives and new ideas to music and sound curation, while exploring ways of creating an accessible and engaging form of sociality informed by sound-thinking.
The On Curation Mentorship Project mentee and mentor pairings are:
Terri Hron (mentee, Montreal) and Peter Hatch (mentor, BC)
Anju Singh (mentee, Vancouver) and Raven Chacon (mentor, Diné)
Freya Zinovieff (mentee, Vancouver) and Laura Netz (mentor, Spain/UK)
