Critical Compound is a participatory project that consists of periodical sessions where creative workers present and discuss together with an audience their own curatorial practices or projects.
​
During each session, one or more guests would give a 20-30 minutes presentation that focuses on their curatorial ideas or practices, followed by an informal discussion that would give the speaker/s and the audience the opportunity of critically address those ideas in a collaborative framework.
Guests will be selected voluntarily and on invitation basis.
​
While allowing curators and artists to share their experiences, Critical Compound supports the empowerment of a long-lasting curatorial community in the city of Glasgow, aiming to construct a solid platform for creative workers of any levels.

Aliya Prichard-Casey
Phoebe Crawford is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, writer and researcher whose practice is centred on creating and deriving meaning by using alternative modes of knowledge production, often within the context of socially engaged and community-oriented projects. Her work challenges boundaries and hierarchies between different artistic mediums, aiming to uncover and explore subversive ways of communicating with and through art. Phoebe’s work is informed by her interest in humour, fiction, heritage and folklore, alongside chance encounters and the quiet absurdity of the every day.
Recent projects include Portals (London, 2021), Which Way to Ailsa Craig? (Glasgow, 2023), Out of the Corner (Glasgow, 2024), GNASH (Glasgow, 2024) and The Thing About Simon (Glasgow, 2024).
​
In this session, Phoebe will discuss her practice, using examples of previous and future projects to present her research into subversive and irreverent approaches of curatorial practice. The talk will be followed by a collaborative writing workshop.
