Hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

The Curatorial Roundtable, an international forum for curators and institutional leaders to discuss formative and current projects, is hosted by Steven Henry Madoff, Founding Chair of the MA Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Doreen Mende has led the Cross-Collections Research Department at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden since 2021, shaping new models for interdisciplinary research across one of Europe’s major museum complexes. As a curator, theorist, and educator, she is known for her investigations into geopolitics, archives, and the politics of exhibition. Previously, Mende served as Associate Professor (Curatorial/Politics) at HEAD – Geneva, where she directed a research-based master’s and PhD program that bridged curatorial practice with political theory. Her international work foregrounds unedited histories, the infrastructures of imperialism, and the role of museums in narrating contested pasts.
