Common Knowledge

Curating and the Commons
On Apr 11, 2024

Chicago, IL, USA

The 2024 Curatorial Forum presented a public curatorial conference around the theme of Curating and the Commons, where we explored both the civic nature and the civic possibilities of art and curatorial practice. In "Common Knowledge,panelists Felipe Mujica (artist and independent curator), Savannah Wood (Executive Director, Afro Charities), and  Sampada Aranke (moderator and Associate Professor of Art History and Comparative Studies, Ohio State University) reach into our past to explore how archives, collections, and libraries can shape our collective memory. How, and to what ends, can curatorial work uncover, protect, and disseminate our rich and varied histories so that we may learn from the knowledge contained in them?

A version of this video with ASL interpretation is available here.
