Collaborative Curation

The collaborative curatorial practices began with listening to the students and planning our first exhibition. Early on in the research it became clear that their experiences with oppression, racism and police brutality needed to be shared with the community as narratives of resistance. The notion of active listening was crucial for the collaborative practice both to ensure the exhibition had the potential to engage them in issues relevant in their lives and to empower them as artists and curators. The video below is an example of the power of video as a vehicle to share lived experiences. The video was used to open a context for Alberto III share his encounter with the police.  The video provided a starting point for conversations with the public in the gallery.
