Description
This talk offers an introduction to Kauka: Assembly of Possible Worlds, an edition of the National Salon of Artists that championed a horizontal curatorial model, guided by local knowledge holders and rooted in ancestral traditions. Using this case as a starting point, a conversation will be opened with Carolina Chacón about curating as a living, collective, and political process, capable of transcending traditional notions of art and challenging the structures of the contemporary art system.
