Te Tuhi curatorial internship
Inaugurated in 2020, Te Tuhi’s curatorial internship programme has so far offered three early-career curators the mentorship and resources needed to develop their own curatorial project within Parnell Project Space.
Using the project space for research and curatorial experimentation, the interns receive mentorship and access to Te Tuhi’s resources, working in an environment supported by an established team. Autonomy over their projects offers the chance for individuals to grow their curatorial voice by running a space that stands independent from Te Tuhi’s main programming.
The internship framework contributes to Te Tuhi’s wider scope for professional development of curatorial practice within Aotearoa New Zealand.
The 2024 internship is a 12 month, full-time, paid training position for an emerging art curator in Aotearoa New Zealand to curate a programme from April 2024 to March 2025. This is an opportunity for a committed curatorial practitioner to build their curatorial practice and gain significant work experience in the sector.
Parnell Project Space
Parnell Project Space is located at Parnell Station, next to Te Tuhi Studios. Through Parnell Project Space and the studios, Te Tuhi aims to support contemporary artists who have an interest in experimental and social practices, providing an environment in which artists and the curatorial intern can develop their practices and expand their networks. As part of this, Parnell Project Space provides a venue to host public facing programmes, including exhibitions and events that engage with Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland’s diverse communities.
Te Tuhi aims to use this space to contribute to a vibrant arts and cultural community in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, through principles of collaboration, experimentation and inclusiveness, engaging with the wider arts sector and the general public.
