Do you know what an art Curator is?
An art curator is a professional responsible for the selection, organisation, and presentation of artworks within a museum, gallery, or other cultural institution. The curator plays an important role in shaping the overall artistic direction and thematic focus of exhibitions. The role of a Curator is multifaceted and requires a combination of artistic knowledge, research skills, and organisational abilities to effectively curate meaningful and engaging exhibitions.
I curated an exhibition titled ‘THEN I FIND” as part of Post Collective Studio, which was featured within the broader context of a group exhibition called “A Gathering” at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe.
“A Gathering” served as a collective convergence, showcasing exhibitions by diverse collectives operating in and around Harare. The primary objective of this exhibition was to unify a range of
curatorial expressions from various collectives within the Harare community.
