The Curators' Quaderno
The WULZ STUDIO: 8,000 Negatives
The Curators’ Quaderno is a collection of notebook-style publications, conceived by Calliope Arts, in collaboration with The Florentine Press, to raise awareness of women’s contributions to the fields of art, science and culture. Issue 4 focuses on the new exhibition, ‘Fotografia Wulz: Trieste, the Family the Atelier’, which will run until April 27, at Trieste’s Magazzino delle Idee, organised by Fondazione Alinari per la Fotografia and ERPAC, with donors Calliope Arts Foundation.
It focuses on the historic photography atelier in Trieste, Fotografia Wulz, active for over 100 years between 1868 and 1981, which documented the border city’s dramatic cultural and demographic change while at the centre of multiple conflicts. Photographs by Marion and Wanda Wulz are in the limelight.

‘Vanessa Bell: A World of Form and Colour’
On January 24, 2024, join us on-line, for a day-long conference at MK Gallery, with top Vanessa Bell scholars and authors, in response to the exhibition 'Vanessa Bell: A World of Form and Colour'. We are proud to announce a welcome addition to the day's already enriching schedule: A talk with Megan Hunter and Rebecca Birrell: British author Megan Hunter will read from 'Interior With Two Women', a theatrical work in progress centered around the complex relationship between Vanessa Bell and her daughter, Angelica Garnett, and will also discuss her forthcoming, Charleston-inspired novel, Days of Light (Picador, April 2025). Megan will be in conversation with Rebecca Birrell, their discussion ranging across the connections between art, fiction and theatre, as well as the impulse towards both the historical and counter-factual in their work.
