The Office for… Curatorial Practice as Political Act

Based on experiences in projects such as the Biennial en Resistencia, La Revuelta, Proyecto 44 and UNFES, the lecture will explore how curatorial practice can be a tool to recover erased narratives, amplify silenced voices and build new forms of local knowledge. We will critically review the history of art that has been written from a unitary, patriarchal, colonial and centralist perspective, to make way for a pluralistic vision where art does not only inhabit museums, but also walls, streets and bodies in struggle.

The lecture seeks to depatriarchalise and decolonise our gazes, understanding art as a social event, an exercise of dignity and collective memory. Through examples, we will open spaces to think together about how to curate from enjoyment, justice and community, where the political and the poetic intertwine to imagine other ways of inhabiting the art world.

Free entrance. Welcome!
