Curating Under Pressure breaks the silence surrounding curatorial
self-censorship and shows that it is both endemic to the practice
and ubiquitous. Contributors map the diverse forms such
self-censorship takes and offer creative strategies for negotiating
curatorial integrity. This is the first book to look at pressures
to self-censor and the curatorial responses to these pressures from
a wide range of international perspectives. The book offers
examples of the many creative strategies that curators deploy to
negotiate pressures to self-censor and gives evidence of curators'
political acumen, ethical sagacity and resilience over the long
term. It also challenges the assumption that self-censorship is
something to be avoided at all costs and suggests that a decision
to self-censor may sometimes be politically and ethically
imperative. Curating Under Pressure serves as a corrective to the
assumption that censorship pressures render practitioners impotent.
It demonstrates that curatorial practice under pressure offers
inspiring models of agency, ingenuity and empowerment. Curating
Under Pressure is a highly original and intellectually ambitious
volume and as such will be of great interest to students and
academics in the areas of museum studies, curatorial and gallery
studies, art history, studio art and arts administration. The book
will also be an essential tool for museum practitioners.
