The lecture-workshop offers an overview of the role of the curator, covering her functions and the multiple possibilities offered by the curatorial exercise. Through a combination of theory and practice, it seeks to show how curatorship not only organizes exhibitions, but also connects contexts in a constant dialogue.

In this way, she will provide inspiring examples that will allow attendees to reflect on their own practices and trajectories.

Also, the workshop will include strategies to guide the artistic discourse, how to present works effectively and how to obtain visibility in fairs and galleries. At the same time, methods for disseminating work on digital platforms such as websites and social networks.
