DOOSAN Curator Workshop(DCW) is a program that has been presented since 2011 for the discovery and support of curators. Each year, three curators are selected through an open call format to take part in various activities over a one-year period, including flexible forms of seminars, workshops, mentoring, field trips to the Asia–Pacific region, and co-curating programs.

The focuses are on intensive dialogue and interactions among participants and the sharing and reproduction of the relationships, knowledge, and art formed in the process. By offering an environment where participating curators can read, write, ask questions, contemplate, and act together, DCW has the aim of supporting them in their growth and organization and allowing them to broaden and develop their capabilities.

Binna Choi

Curator of the Hawai’i Triennial 2025: ALOHA NŌ
For 15 years (2008–2023), Binna Choi served as director for the Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons in the Dutch city of Utrecht. She is currently working as a curatorial adviser for the institution. At Casco, Choi curated interdisciplinary projects such as Grand Domestic Revolution (2010–2012), which led in turn to her planning of commission, exhibition, and publication programs and long-term artistic research projects such as Composing the Commons (2013–2016). Her curatorial practices are based on the idea of participation and collaboration among different agents within the wavelengths of social change and movement. She has also been active with Arts Collaboratory, an artistic organization network centering on South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, as well as with the Site of Unlearning Art Organization, which treats the interior of the Casco Art Institution as its project’s subject and object. In the process, she has experimented with transitions away from colonialism and capitalism in the organizations, institutions, and foundations of art. She is a member of Akademie der Künste der Welt in Cologne, Germany and an adviser to the Paris-based network Afield. She served as curator for the 11th Gwangju Biennale (2016) and co-artistic director for the Singapore Biennale 2022, named natasha.
