Curating and the Methodology of Intersectional Care examines care as an intersectional, complex praxis and lays it in proximity to the practice of curating. The introduction discusses the discourse of care in contemporary writing on curatorial practice and identifies a lack of coherence in the use of the word care in that context. Subsequently, the body text of the thesis takes the form of a brief theoretical glossary that, in the practice of speculative feminism, draws on writings by Donna J. Haraway and Hannah Arendt. Four practices in the vicinity of care are outlined: Going Visiting, Empathy, Rendering Capable, and Hollowing Out.

Thinking in this way allows the writer to solidify premises and outcomes of care in the vicinity of curating. The conclusion resolves on the metaphor of the curator as mother figure, suggesting some tools to curators hoping to enact a practice of intersectional care. The essay includes artworks curated to stand in proximity to the language presented.
