"The Curatorial Turn" (concept)

"The Curatorial Turn" refers to a shift in the role of curators from simply selecting and displaying artworks to actively shaping the meaning, context, and interpretation of exhibitions. It emphasizes the curator’s influence in framing narratives, engaging audiences, and contributing to cultural dialogues. This approach recognizes curators as creators of intellectually and conceptually significant experiences, rather than just keepers of collections. Essentially, it highlights the evolving importance of curatorial practice in influencing how art is understood and discussed within society.
