An Institutional Initiative in Formation
FAACCE Curatorial Council.
Building a global network of cultural experts to safeguard the authenticity, scholarship and creative excellence of every work presented through FAACCE.
The Initiative
A respected international body, convened with intention.
FAACCE is establishing an international Curatorial Council to serve as the independent authority on cultural integrity across our platform. The Council is being assembled with the same rigour applied to a museum board — through nomination, consultation and considered appointment.
Membership will be drawn from across Africa and the global diaspora, and announced formally as each appointment is confirmed. We are not naming individuals in advance of their appointment.
Composition
The Council will convene voices from six disciplines.
01
Artists
Practitioners across the visual, performing and applied arts.
02
Cultural Historians
Scholars of African art history, heritage and material culture.
03
Researchers
Independent researchers in creative and cultural fields.
04
Academics
University faculty from institutions across Africa and the diaspora.
05
Museum Professionals
Curators, conservators and directors from leading institutions.
06
Creative Industry Experts
Practitioners shaping fashion, film, design and publishing.

Governance
The Council will operate independently of acquisition and commerce. Its only mandate is the cultural integrity of what FAACCE presents to the world.
