SAT appoints curator and associate curator of its third edition
The curators will
collaborate closely with the Triennial team to build on its ongoing initiatives
in the public realm, drawing on its deep knowledge of the city and community
networks, while contributing broader perspectives on architecture's role in
shaping more sustainable, inclusive, and responsive cities. Aligning with the
SAT's focus on process as a means of idea generation, Rao and Tavengwa invite
SAT03 to adopt a propositional, rather than representational, approach.
On Saturday, May 10,
2025, SAT will host "Meet the Curators of the 2026 SAT Edition", a
public programme at SAT headquarters, Al Qasimiyah School, marking the launch
of SAT03 in the presence of its curators. This gathering will offer audiences a
unique opportunity to engage with the newly appointed team as they share
initial insights into their curatorial approach and vision for the upcoming
Triennial, set to take place in 2026.
The programme will
begin with a welcome note and a formal introduction of the curators, followed
by a presentation of their vision for SAT03, offering insight into the
curatorial themes and directions currently in development.
A conversation will
then unfold between the curators and members of the SAT team, including Mona El
Mousfy (Advisor, SAT), Sharmeen Inayat (Curator of Research and Urban
Programmes), Sahil Abdul Latheef (Manager of Public Programming), and Nihal
Halimeh (Manager of Architecture and Programmes). Together, they will discuss
the collaborative process and institutional perspectives shaping the third
edition of the Triennial.
The event will
conclude with an open Q&A session, inviting public questions and
reflections.
"Meet the
Curators of the 2026 SAT Edition" is free and open to the public. It
invites architects, designers, students, scholars, researchers, and anyone
interested in the spaces we shape and live in to join the conversation and take
part in this formative moment for SAT03.
