The word \u2018curator\u2019 derives from the Latin\u00a0curare<\/em>, \u2018to care\u2019. Curators are charged with the physical and intellectual care of collections \u2013 the artworks, objects and narratives found within our cultural institutions. However, it is evident that the concept of care within our sector must stretch beyond the guardianship of cultural heritage, to the care of and concern for those around us.<\/p>\n Curating, Care and Community<\/em>\u00a0will explore the increasingly urgent matter of how we care for ourselves, our colleagues, our collaborators and our audiences through our work in the arts, within and beyond institutions.<\/p>\n Hosted by Jemma Desai, presentations and panels will address:<\/p>\n BAN members and the wider curatorial community are invited to share experiences and ideas in a supportive, reflective environment. To facilitate sharing, participants will be sent some questions on the theme of care to consider in advance, though there will be no pressure to contribute. There will be opportunities for questions throughout and participation will be encouraged through polls and Google Jamboard.<\/p>\n\n
