Full-Spectrum Curatorship 2026 | Anna Bouali
We are pleased to announce Anna Bouali as a participant in the Full-Spectrum Curatorship program 2026!
Anna Bouali is a curator and researcher of new media. She asks how shared experience and collective agency emerge—especially as these possibilities come under pressure from platform capitalism, with its imposed temporalities and predictive targeting. Artists Femke Herregraven and Tega Brain track these politics with precision and wit, and Anna draws on their critical language alongside her own experience as a perpetual nomad, never quite in step with a city’s rhythm.
Against algorithmic synchronisation, she proposes synchronicity: meaningful coincidence that no system arranged. Her research also extends into acausal connection, temporal misalignment, and horizontal agency. This interest is echoed in Yon Natalie Mik and Choi Taeyoon’s Unworking Movement / Migrating Bodies (2025), which enacts slippage by letting bodies rehearse movements freed from the demand to perform. Following David Bohm’s view that nature is neither random nor deterministic, Anna Bouali also suggests that the way we move through it is neither fixed nor programmed.
Full Spectrum Curatorship returns for its fourth edition, bringing together emerging and aspiring curators based in the Netherlands to share, experiment, and reflect together. This year’s cohort spans a wide range of perspectives on contemporary curatorial practice—across media art, digital culture, artistic research, public space, games, community archiving, and contemporary art.
