Mark Amery, ArtExplore Guide, organised Curators of Cuba for Cuba Dupa Festival. this was cancelled because of the Covid 19 Lock Down. This is his response to being locked down - creating an on line version that will last in perpetuity. Today, June 11, 2020 sees the launch of Curators of Cuba an online programme of interviews with the galleries of the Cuba Street precinct of Wellington and some of the artists that populate them. These will be shared online over June and July through the CubaDupa and Artexplore channels, encouraging the public back into the capital and celebrating the work of some of the nation’s art wheelers and dealers. The programme has been presented with the assistance of Wellington Independent Arts Trust, with funding from Wellington City Council, Artexplore and at least a dozen participating art spaces. Curators of Cuba was due to be launched as part of the Cubadupa street festival as a weekend roving discussion series in late March. With the support of council and the Trust, it has now been expanded as a documentary conversation project, available to all online. From veteran galleries on the strip like McLeavey and Bowen Galleries, to newer-comers like Mossman and Robert Heald; from public spaces like Toi Poneke to new art spaces in retail like Precinct35, the series explores the dynamic work being done by creative businesses. Artists include well-known names like Ans Westra, Dane Mitchell, Peter Trevelyan and Shona Rapira Davies, but equally introduce you to many newcomers. The conversations are led by writer Pip Adam, artist Suzanne Tamaki and curator and writer Mark Amery, with videography by Oscar Keys.
