In traditional worlds, a museum curator’s role is to be a steward of history, weaving stories from various domains to guide culture in its becoming — to answer who we are, where we’ve been, and where we can go. A curator doesn’t just take pieces of history and reorganize them. They assert a point of view about the works, explain why they’re important today, and show how we can use these artifacts to learn about society and ourselves.
