THE PREGNANT PAUSE: A COUNTDOWN ON LIVING WITH THE INVISIBLE
By Vanini Belarmino
Commissioned by Independent Curators International
Vanini Belarmino was invited by Independent Curators International to contribute to their research portal, Reports from the Field. These are perspectives from curators from around the world, who are alumni of the Curatorial Intensive, ICI's professional development program for emerging curators. The commissioned texts are reflections on the impact of the global pandemic on their lives, ways of working, their communities, and how they are adapting as a response.
Vanini Belarmino, Alumna of the Curatorial Intensive Fall '12, writes from Singapore.
