Submission deadline: November 30, 2025
transmediale e.V. is inviting applications for the Festival Curation for transmediale 2027.
The festival curator's central responsibility is the development of the curatorial concept and programme for the next edition of the festival, marking the 40th anniversary of transmediale. The position invites one or more persons with previous curatorial experience to critically engage with topics at the intersection of art, technology, science, society, and politics, and to contribute to transmediale’s long history as one of the leading festivals of art and digital culture.
Parallel to the festival, the anniversary year will include a major exhibition. Curated independently from the festival, it will pursue its own thematic direction while at the same time remaining in dialogue with the festival’s programme. The exhibition will be curated by Antonina Stebur.
