Applications are invited for the Design Trust / RCA Fellowship in Design Curation. Extensively supported by the Design Trust, this is a six-month to one-year opportunity for research, learning and engagement at the Royal College of Art. The deadline for applications is Thursday, 2 May 2019.

Based at the Royal College of Art in London, the Fellow(s) will undertake advanced research into curatorial practice in relation to contemporary design and recent design history. Areas of focus might include: strategies for exhibition-making, display, interpretation and collections; design archives; design curating in the public sphere; design theory and method as curatorial practice; curating emergent technologies; and history and current practice in design curating.

Also, join us on Wednesday 24 April for Public Lecture featuring returning fellows Mina Song (Design Trust / RCA 2017 fellow), Sunnie Chan (Design Trust / RCA 2018). Followed by the lecture, there will be a panel discussion co-moderated by Marisa Yiu and Doryun Chong.
