| Description | Through our work in "Curating Performance: Fostering Environments of Care," students developed processes that expanded their capacities to see, engage, and support artists, their processes, and their resulting work; examine histories and functions of curatorial practice as applied to performance and time-based arts, and correlate existing field-wide practices with larger systemic concerns that have shaped the current arts ecosystem. Students assessed their existing and emergent proficiencies in relationship to curatorial functions and the ways those skills can be offered in service to artists in our campus community, across the valley, and more broadly. As part of this process, students engaged with arts professionals and cultural organizers who are building and administering such systems of support, as well as artists who shared their strategies and processes. As the semester unfolded, students applied their accumulated knowledges to their co-curation of an online archive that was shared publicly at the end of the semester. |
