English curator addresses local artists

Hinkin was in Botswana for an initiative for local art practitioners code-named ‘Echoes of [Un]Silenced Voices’ #EchoesUV. Hinkin told the artists that she started embracing art from as young as five-years-old.  She said at first she did not know what curating was all about, but working with different artists across many galleries in Europe helped her better understand the curatorial practice.

Hinkin, together with a team of other judges, is tasked with choosing three individual artists who will each be awarded P30,000 towards development and production of new artworks for the exhibition, which need not be confined to the gallery space, as there is room to explore public spaces just as well.
