Conference “Curatorship and collective work”

Last Thursday, November 27, Miguel A. López visited Il Posto Documentos to give his lecture «Curatorship and collective work». This talk offered a reflective and affective account of the work done by the Peruvian curator in the last six years and the ways in which the curatorial and the collective intersect here, focusing mainly on his experience in Central America. Through a first-person narrative, López reflected on the challenges of developing editorial and exhibition programs that produce situated knowledge and bridge the gap between the local and the international, and what it meant to be part of a process that transformed TEOR/éTica’s work and governance structure towards a model of collective direction.

Miguel A. López is a writer, researcher and independent curator.  His practice focuses mainly on collective processes, experimental art, feminist art, and the subjects of gender and sexuality linked to the processes of political memory. He has published books such as Robar la historia, Contrarrelatos y prácticas artísticas de oposición (2017) and Ficciones disidentes en la tierra de la misoginia (2019).
