Curatorial Practices

Course description

In this course, students develop a critical understanding of curatorial strategies. Students learn to apply research, theory, criticism, industry standards, and practical curatorial skills to individual and team-based exhibitions in both virtual or physical environments. This is accomplished by contextualizing curatorial practices from a historical perspective while taking into account inclusive, contemporary, practical and ethical considerations. Students are encouraged to consider project-based exhibitions that challenge existing paradigms and museum conventions, as well as the importance of collaboration and dialogue with exhibition contributors and other institutions

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
