Curators Without Borders’ (CWB) mission is to design and implement dynamic and participatory educational exhibitions, outreach, and advocacy campaigns for underserved communities worldwide, in partnership with nonprofits, museums and cultural institutions.
Our work addresses a wide range of issues we face as a global community from refugee education and migration to safeguarding cultural heritage and supporting human rights. We prefer to bring our programs into local communities and work with government, museum, and non-profit partners to implement programs and exhibitions. CWB also works on mechanisms for the broader participation of museums and cultural institutions in humanitarian assistance.
