Description:Introduction: Based on the book Curaduría de Latinoamérica: 20 entrevistas a quienes cambiaron el arte contemporáneo (2018) by Juan José Santos, the formation of a Latin American curatorial field from a critical perspective is narrated. Objective: To identify layers of hegemony that make up curating during the 1990s and the early 2000s, between processes of globalization, multiculturalism, and postcolonialism. Methods: Contributions from queer studies are adopted, specifically from Judith Butler and Sarah Ahmed, to pay attention to the power dynamics that go through the attempts to close discourses. For this, I worked with fragments of interviews from Santos’s book. Conclusions: The importance of carrying out a historiography of curatoring was observed, thinking of it not as something that defines the subjects, nor as an exclusive field of action, but as a platform for agency and intervention concatenated with other aesthetic tools and social experiences within and out of art.
