Open Call for curators – Announcement: C2C Festival

Situazione Xplosiva/C2C Festival is launching a call for applications for one grant aimed at emerging curators based in Italy, as part of the TMLAB European project.

This opportunity supports the development of curatorial practices through a hybrid mentorship programme starting in July, and offers the chance to curate a showcase with three national emerging artists to be presented at the next edition of C2C Festival in November. Standing as one of the world’s leading avant-pop music events, C2C Festival was born in the early 2000s as Club To Club. Over the years, it has evolved from one of Europe’s eminent dance fests to an internationally celebrated platform showcasing some of the most adventurous contemporary music.

The programme covers key curatorial methodologies, audience engagement strategies and cultural production insights, including project development, artist contact, meetings, and shadowing. The selection will prioritise curators from underrepresented backgrounds that reflect the vision of C2C Festival and are aligned with the ethical, critical, and inclusive values promoted by TMLAB.

Together, we aim to create spaces for expression, visibility and structural change for the artists and curators who are reshaping the landscape of electronic music.

Applications are open from 27 May to 24 June 2025.
