Care and Repair: Rethinking Contemporary Curation for Conditions of Crisis (DP240102206)

This project aims to address the significant challenge of how to curate contemporary art under conditions of crisis, made acute by the pandemic.

It expects to generate new knowledge in the growth areas of contemporary art and curatorial practice, which will be translatable to creative industries seeking solutions to similar challenges.

Our role

Professor McQuilten and Associate Professor Khan bring significant expertise in socially-engaged arts and creative and cultural entrepreneurship to the project, advocating for inclusive curatorship across their academic track records.

Working from the foundations of curating as ‘Care and Repair’, this project has three research trajectories: undoing, sharing, and repairing.
