MA Fine Art: Curating 2026
Hi! I'm Caterina, I graduated in 2025 with a BA in Visual Arts - Painting in Florence, Italy. During my last year of studies I developed an interest in the curatorial role in art shows while taking part in collective student exhibitions, which is why I have decided to pursue an MA in Fine Art: Curating.
My curatorial research focuses on the dialogue between human connections, public spaces and accessibility theory. I am currently in residency at the Centre for Print Research, where I have been developing three different displays for the ‘Curio Case’, showcasing at the Alive Contemporary Printmaking Fair in Basel. My curatorial approach has involved interviewing artists and researchers, selecting archival artworks from the CFPR collections and working with their physical and emotional structure.
MA Fine Art: Curating Showcase - Make Yourself at Home
Make Yourself at Home is a collective installation by the 2026 MA Fine Art: Curating class. The project invites the visitors to "experience" the place and celebrate the process of becoming. https://www.instagram.com/catelastrucci/p/DbJQHCIiBdi/
Choreographed Carving - happening
The happening was a relaxed performance during which I introduced my research on the Curio Case to the audience and invited them to join me in its curatorial process. The session included participatory curation, screen filming and a printmaking activity.

The Curio Case display weaves together narratives through a playful design and an original curatorial approach. The display serves as a starting point for overcoming conversation barriers and sharing personal experiences. https://cfpr.uwe.ac.uk/curating-the-curio-case-caterina-lastrucci/
