Who would've thought curating and programming could be a dangerous profession? John Kirkman, Aaron Seeto and Lisa Havilah give us their perspective on what drives their work, the processes and challenges behind programming for an art gallery or cultural institution including the role of the artist and captivating your audience.

They discuss strategies that engage artists with local communities through specific projects like the Edge of Elsewhere, a collaborative curatorial program produced for the Sydney Festival by Campbelltown Arts Centre in partnership with 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.

These interviews were recorded at COFA on the 5th April as part of the free COFA Talks public lecture series.
