The newest issue of Glissando magazine gives voice to people from all around the globe to share their experience on curating and diversity. Bringing a diverse array of perspectives, they show how curatorial practices can contribute towards more equal and fairer redistributions of resources, knowledge(s), and experiences, as well as expanding our sense of empathy and justice towards marginal, unusual, or unorthodox practices and bring unexpected collaborations to the fore.

In Glissando #43, guest editor Monika Żyła has created a space for reflection concerning some of the recent curatorial practices in music and sound. It is also a platform for sharing, negotiating, and promoting new curatorial voices, perspectives, ideas, and solutions.

The issue is divided into four larger thematic clusters: Proximities, Tensions, Encounters and Care, consisting of articles that respond to and interact with one another.

All the articles gathered in the first part Proximities consider curating from a situated perspective, and in relationship to space. In Tensions, the articles expose, trace and analyse larger forces and mechanisms that contribute to systemic erasures, enable active

forgetting and even promote the destruction of cultural knowledge and identities. Encounters gathers invaluable perspectives from various intercultural interactions and collaborations. The last part, Care, offers a consequent closure, harking back to the etymology of curating understood as care.

We invite all our readers to embark with us on this journey through diversity and curating, which will hopefully inspire new insights and perspectives.

The issue has been created in cooperation with Sounds Now network.
