UPCOMING CURATORIAL FELLOWS

2027 Curatorial Fellow - Alma Sammel

The 2027 Curatorial Fellow is Alma Sammel. The upcoming curatorial theme uses the figure of the Alien to challenge human-centered narratives, framing artistic practice as a space of shared planetary belonging and rethinking authorship, knowledge, and coexistence within an entangled world.

ABOUT THE CURATOR

Alma Sammel is a French-Italian-German curator and cultural facilitator working in contemporary art through exhibitions, performances, and research-driven projects. She studied Curatorial Studies at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and Communication and Cultural Management in Germany. Her practice focuses on developing exhibitions as spaces of inquiry and collaboration, informed by her experience in institutions such as the École nationale supérieure de la photographie and Lee Ufan Arles. Alongside her curatorial work, she supports artists in the development of exhibitions and publications.

2028 Curatorial Fellows Jorge Van den Eynde and Amina Berdin

The 2028 Curatorial Fellows are Jorge Van den Eynde and Amina Berdin . Their program, Oracle Frequencies, explores the intersection of magical and digital thinking, examining how oracular practices and technological imagination overlap. Moving between prophecy, transmission, and algorithmic prediction, the series considers how meaning is produced, sensed, and shared across different forms of intelligence. Through a sequence of BROADCAST programs, they will investigate the relationship between intuition, computation, and the evolving role of the oracle in a networked world.

ABOUT THE CURATORS

Jorge Van den Eynde is an independent curator, editor, and researcher based in Madrid. He completed an MA in Curating at Goldsmiths, as a Botín Foundation Fellow. Over the past years, he has combined his editorial role at Concreta with an active curatorial practice, organizing exhibitions and collaborative research projects internationally in Spain, Italy, the UK, Norway and Greece. His work investigates the permeability between binary categories such as magic and science, body and technology, or nature and culture, often through speculative and narrative methodologies. 

Amina Berdin is an independent curator and researcher based in Italy, with an MFA in Curating from Goldsmiths, University of London, and curatorial training at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (CAMPO). She has worked both independently and within large-scale institutions, including Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan. Her practice develops along two interconnected lines of inquiry: decentralized forms of contemporary art production, particularly in the context of provinces, and the relationship between magical and technical thinking in contemporary culture. She directs an ongoing residency program in a sixteenth-century convent in Bosco Marengo, supporting emerging artists while reflecting on the tension between institutional legacy and living culture.
