Curator Alba Baeza has contributed an insightful and immersive text on the challenges and conditions of curatorial practice, written exclusively for the association.
To foster effective collaboration across various fields of expertise, a curator must possess a diverse skill set, including research, critical analysis, conceptual and aesthetic sensitivity, writing, public speaking, as well as strong communication, diplomacy, and negotiation abilities. So, what does a curator do? They research, mediate, connect, facilitate dialogue, interpret, reframe, present, and advocate. Ultimately, curating is about building relationships and creating meaningful narratives.
