ZHdK Research Tours
For Zurich Art Weekend 2026, an innovative research-driven tour format has been developed in collaboration with the MA Cultural Critique, Curatorial Studies (head: Prof. Dr. Anselm Franke) from Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and with the support of Hannah Eßler. These tours will lead audiences to unique and behind-the-scenes locations across Zurich, guided by emerging curators Anja Roosens, Sonia Mesarova, Parita Upadhyaya, Juliette Cornaz, and Maria Sorensen.
This initiative builds on a long-standing collaboration between Zurich Art Weekend and ZHdK’s MA Cultural Critique, Curatorial Studies (former MA Art Education, Curatorial Studies) which began in 2018 and continues to foster art mediation practices and public education through guided tours.
