In the process of planning this exhibition, I realized that curating is not only a job of presenting art, but also a job that must bear clear moral responsibilities. In the future, in curatorial practice, I hope to systematically think about and implement curatorial ethics from the following aspects:
First, the fairness of artist selection. When supporting artists from different backgrounds and stages of development, we should avoid relying solely on existing fame or institutional resources and actively pay attention to emerging artists and marginalized voices.
Second, equal treatment of labor value. Regardless of the fame of the artist, we should ensure that they are given uniform and reasonable labor remuneration, respect the labor of each artist, and oppose exploitation and differentiated treatment in the curatorial process.
Third, the ethical sensitivity of the exhibition content. When dealing with topics involving gender, labor and family experience, we should avoid superficial consumption of works and focus on how to truly respect the creator’s experience and narrative complexity.
Finally, transparency and respect for audience relations. Curating should promote open dialogue rather than one-way indoctrination, and encourage the audience to interpret the exhibition content from a diverse perspective.
Through these directions, I hope that future curatorial practice can be based on fairness, respect, and critical awareness.
