Conceived and curated by LAND (Learning through Arts, Narrative and Discourse), positions curation as both an intellectual discipline and a pedagogical methodology. Designed for learners from Grades 8–12, the three-month programme introduces exhibition-making as a process of research, interpretation, collaboration, and public engagement rather than the presentation of artworks alone.

​

Structured around four interconnected phases—Ways of Seeing, Ways of Knowing, Ways of Connecting, and From Inquiry to Exhibition—the programme enables learners to investigate how exhibitions produce meaning through relationships between artworks, objects, communities, histories, ecologies, and audiences. Through museum studies, curatorial writing, documentation, cataloguing, exhibition design, and sustained engagement with the Devi Art Foundation's art collection, participants develop critical approaches to artistic and cultural interpretation while recognising collections as living knowledge systems.

​

The programme culminates in a learner-curated exhibition in which research is translated into spatial, visual, and public experiences. By foregrounding dialogue, ethical engagement, and collective responsibility, the Curatorial Studies Programme expands curation beyond exhibition-making, positioning it as a framework for critical inquiry, cultural stewardship, and knowledge creation through the arts.
