The W Project returns on the eve of International Women’s Day with a very special symposium exploring diversity in the art world and the future of curation.

We look forward to welcoming Tate Modern director and curator of 30 years, Frances Morris joined by the future of curation Cairo Clarke and Caroline Simionescu-Marin.
