Professor Rebekah Radtke and her team have received funding from UK’s Research Leadership Academy toward their Global x Appalachia research proposal. The Emerging Themes for Research Program provides seed funding of up to $100,000/year for a maximum of three years to emerging research that 'creates, grows, and sustains a healthier, wealthier, and wiser Kentucky'. Global x Appalachia is a project that emerged in response to the needs of regions affected by energy transition and post-extractive topography. Radtke and co-leads Jeff Fugate (of UK Architecture) and Baylen Campbell (of Invest Appalachia) are devoted to the investigation of sustainability, adaptability, and a global network of collaboration as it relates to the Appalachian region of the United States. The primary goals of this project, according to their official proposal, are "generating conversations and partnerships on UK's campus, in the commonwealth, and across the world, using these invaluable relations and findings to eventually establish a formal research center." Their work focuses on a wide range of research – from global comparative studies to downtown site interventions. This range of focus, from local to international, allows for a holistic approach that emphasizes community representation.

Thankful to @ikt_curatorial super team and EVERYONE involved in organizing the #iktcongress2022 in #Kentucky this year! 👏👏👏 We had art-filled days exploring and learning about the diverse culture of #Appalachia ✨ From museums and local galleries to studio visits and art talks. Unique and immersive opportunities like this connect art professionals and contemporary art curators worldwide, sparking critical dialogue, and stimulating the exchange of ideas around curatorial practices with a global approach. Special thanks to @ombrainbow and @susancaraballo who helped make this possible for me 🙏 ‘til next year! 🥂 @the.ant.project @ychsiehproject @benedettacarpideresmini @laundromatartspace @aleshamx @ibiennale_koanjeffbaysa @_lindzync_ @karimaboudoumzouar #iktcuratorial #iktcongress #globalappalachia #kentucky #kentukyartist #kmacmuseum #kentuckymuseumofart #kentuckymuseum #21chotel #acmestudios #josephinesculpturepark #artists #artstudio #arttalk #artfriends #meadowsfoundation #curator
