In Conversation: Curating temporary exhibitions

In today’s cultural sector, you do not need to be a museum staff member to curate an exhibition. You could be an independent art curator and work independently.

A curator’s job is like a movie director’s in that you need to oversee every detail of the production, so it helps to be extremely organised and to work well with others as it takes many skilled people to put on an exhibition.

In this ‘in conversation’ Claire Messenger talks to Miriam Lloyd-Evans who is a former British Museum colleague now an independent curator. Miriam has worked extensively on a wide variety of temporary exhibitions, and will talk about what she sees as the role of the curator and how she develops her concept, theme and the stories – or multiple stories – that can be told.
