In this course, we will read theoretical literature on curatorial practices and the genealogy of curating. The course
will introduce contemporary issues that affect the production and organization of exhibitions, such as globalization
and migration, digital culture, urbanization and the use of space, and changing public understandings. The course
includes knowledge of the cultural, theoretical, social, political and economic issues that underpin the art gallery
and museum system. What happens to political projects when they are exhibited or even enclosed in normative
spaces such as a museum or exhibition? How to think of curating as care and inclusion? We look at the concept
of "slow curating". How to view archives through a decolonial perspective? Should museums return colonial
artifacts? How to deal with the problematic heritage that underpins many collections? How to creatively reshape
historical archives through curatorial practices? The course will include excursions to galleries, museums and
other exhibition spaces. Through visits to galleries, museums, and art collections.
