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 Space," panelists Ange Loft (artist), Jay Pather ( Professor, University of Cape Town; Director, Institute for Creative Arts), and Risa Puleo (moderator and independent curator; Co-curator 2023 Counterpublic Triennial) offered diverse approaches to the question of how we physically shape our present. How do we as curators both assert and acknowledge/respect the shared ownership of public space?
