Introduction to Curation is a practice-led course, designed around research conducted by colleagues from the V&A. Each week features V&A curators who will share insights into their practice and reflect on current challenges and opportunities. Curating today is more than caring for objects, it's about shaping stories, fostering dialogue, and connecting communities with collections in meaningful ways.
The course combines live case studies, group discussions and critical reflection to unpack the evolving contexts in which curating takes place.
