Wong This issue of OnCurating gathers contributions that emerged from the conference and workshop "Situated Knowledges - Art and Curating on the Move" - organized by Dorothee Richter, Cedric Maridet, Ronald Kolb in June 2021 as a hybrid parallel event of conference and workshop at Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong and Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich) - an event embedded in the "Curating on the Move" format of the collaborative platform Shared Campus, an international educational format and research network launched by seven art schools. The term "situated knowledges" coined by Donna Haraway declares that all scientific knowledge is fundamentally conditional. Against an assumption of the apparently neutral and unmediated knowledge of the (male, white) Western idea of science and its representation through totalizing visualization techniques, Haraway develops her concept of situated and embodied knowledges. The contributions in this issue exemplify the partiality and situatedness of one's own position in our respective fields of expertise, within our educational frameworks and contact zones. The compiled texts reflect on Haraway's concept of situated knowledges , and on each contributor's own embodied practices and the hands-on experiences in the workshops.
