[Photo: co-curators together]
PeopleA multinational cohort.

Co-curated with academics from [number] countries, so the program carried many voices rather than one.

Applied InvestigationsWhat made it work
[Evidence: venue map or master schedule]
The briefMake 25 venues run as one.

Each venue brought its own bookings, crews and access rules. The job was to schedule, contract and keep them in step, so audiences only ever saw one festival. [What was most at risk?]

[Evidence: planning board or email thread, redacted]
The cluesMany curators, one program.

[What you noticed early: competing priorities, time zones, institutional sign-offs.]

[Evidence: run sheet or bump-in photo]
The movesStage and production management.

[The calls you made behind the big moments: crew, cues, contingencies.]

[Evidence: letter, invitation or follow-on project]
Case closed[What lasted.]

[Partnerships, invitations, repeat collaborations.]

Same project. Same person. Both sides finally credited.
