ABSTRACT

Using an intersectional queer theory lens, the participant-researcher-author employs critical autoethnography to argue that refusal as a strategy for wayward curating is an imperative in infiltrating racialised expectations of creativity within contemporary art. She presents two case studies, which focus on curatorial care work as a decolonial aspiration. Underlining this research is an exploration of how black, People of Colour and Queer Trans Intersex People of Colour artist-curators are working towards political and collective practices based on mutual care, friendship, rest and empathy. These curatorial practices act as contestations to the hegemonic principals of contemporary art that have historically been based on exclusion and erasure. Key to this betrayal is considering curating through care as an emancipatory ritual for self-actualisation.

摘要

参与者研究者作者使用交叉同志理论的透镜，运用批判的自传民族志来论证说，拒绝作为任性策展的策略是将种族主义对创造力的期望渗透到当代艺术中的必要条件。她介绍了两个案例研究，重点是作为殖民地志向的策展护理工作。这项研究的重点是探索黑人，有色人种和跨性别男女同性恋者之间的关系。有色人种-策展人在相互关怀，友谊，休息和同情的基础上，致力于政治和集体实践。这些策展实践是对历史上一直基于排斥和擦除的当代艺术霸权主义原则的争夺。
