I Hope This Message Finds You Well, Lara Khaldi
Manage episode 306386107 series 2994092
In this episode, we talk to Lara Khaldi about her professional trajectory, from being trained as an archeologist to becoming a curator, or cultural worker, as she prefers to call herself. We also talk about power relations between artist and curator, learning from artists, being a parent or caretaker while maintaining a career in the arts, and collective ways of working. And possibly, we happen to coin some hot new terminology: OOC (“object oriented curating”) and AOC (“artist oriented curating”).
