What does "curating" mean today? Potential for transnational collaborations

Abstract

Curatorial action is based on historical presuppo sitions. It is construed from the right to education and having a voice in civil society; however, at the same time it is based on the hierarchies as well as discriminatory exclusion and marginalisation mechanisms of Western modernity. Using Pierre Bourdieu‘s model of alliance building as a basis, the study presents curatorial practices that are suitable for breaking through hegemonic patterns and initiating transcultural exchange processes.
