Your Perspective: Curating (Art, Music, Film, Theatre & TV) |
When we talk about curating, the first that comes to mind is that job in a museum where the curator translates knowledge about the artworks and artists into a dense exhibition. But curating doesn’t reflect only art institutions. You can also become a curator of music and/or film programmes, or cultural events at a debate centre. Join this edition of Your Perspective and learn more about a career in the field of curating. Humanities alumni working in this field will tell you about their work.
