Abstract:<\/strong>
\n2017 ushered in the Trump era, casting into sharp relief the political, social and economic chasms that had been seemingly smoothed over by the globalization rhetoric of the 1990s and 2000s. What is the role and relevance of curating at a time when cultural systems \u2013 international and local \u2013 are being fundamentally challenged? In this seminar, I will discuss the idea of sustainable curating and explore its implications on curatorial ethics, the spaces\/places in between exhibition sites and the textures of time, with reference to my recent projects and ongoing research.<\/p>\n
