The word “curate” commonly describes the professional management, selection, and presentation of works of art. But the term’s etymology lies in the Latin curare, meaning to care for, to heal, to cure. This series of conversations underscores the critical significance of these connotations within contemporary artistic practices in Latin America and its diasporas.
