About Parallel Platform

PARALLEL is a platform that brings together 18 
creative European organisations committed to 
promoting cross-cultural exchanges and 
mentorships, in order to set new standards in 
contemporary photography. Members include 
museums, galleries, festivals, art schools and 
publishers - 18 of the most vibrant European 
cultural hubs, from 16 countries, that will 
participate in selecting and hosting new artists 
and curators, organising exhibitions and 
promoting artistic networking. The large and 
diverse nature of the network ensures a wide 
geographical spread and a fertile ground for 
fostering new dialogues, sparking ideas and 
helping to boost creativity. PARALLEL intends to 
remove artificial boundaries between artists and 
curators to create grounds for promoting a 
horizontal way of working and new forms of 
artistic cooperation through a process that 
instigates encounters to promote synergies and 
cross-fertilisation. The Platform work process is 
implemented in two-phases: Creative Guidance - 
selection, tutoring, peer learning and 
curatorship. Exhibition Platform - a diverse 
exhibition network engaging exhibitors, 
universities and art schools. PARALLEL Platform's 
1st Cycle took place between November 2017 and 
September 2018. PARALLEL is designed and led by 
Procur.arte and is supported by the Creative 
Europe Programme (2017 - 2021).
