What is the role of the curator today?
How is this figure shaping today’s visual and discursive landscape?

The curator today is a producer of knowledge, a pivotal figure in our contemporary society  that interprets reality and its complexities through the creation of bodies of knowledge that can have different forms such as exhibitions – complex organisms made of multiple tensions- , or producing multiple typologies of narrations.

Curators can also create public programs to deepen the visual language of the artists, or can engage in participative projects that negotiate with different social groups and dense realities. To be a curator today means to have a direct relation with artists, thinkers, cultural managers; means to engage, negotiate and propose a new form of visual and discursive construction of reality. The curator is part of a creative practice that reinterprets the world in deep dialogue with artists. We might think that art looks like a superfluous need but it is in fact present since prehistoric times, demonstrating its urgency and need to be part of the discourse of the world: to understand this and to work with these forms of representation creating new dispositive is to be a curator.
