Congratulations to Yasmin Nurming-Por of Toronto for being awarded the 5th annual Middlebrook Prize for Young Canadian Curators, a national prize awarded annually to a young curator demonstrating social innovation and curatorial excellence. Yasmin's project, My curiosities are not your curios, has been selected as the winning submission that will be presented at the Art Gallery of Guelph from September 14 - December 17, 2017.

The exhibition will examine what it means to collect objects through the work of artists for whom collecting is a creative practice. Nurming-Por has selected contemporary artists from across North America whose “collections” address the politics of display, exploring how these systems can also be used to present alternative narratives.
