The conversation verges on exploring what the role of the curator is today and how it can be reimagined, setting the context for exhibitions within broader social, economic, and political frameworks. In an increasingly challenging global context, the curator becomes more and more a mediator: imagining new forms of collaboration and kinship, confronting nationalism, embracing yet challenging AI, fighting for accessibility and inequalities while inspiring political and social change.
