Abstract
[spa]Este artículo explora las características de la intervención curatorial feminista a partir del análisis de un caso de estudio: la exposición Yo, la peor de todas, comisariada por su autora. Se articula en torno a una reflexión crítica sobre las distintas estrategias que se pusieron en marcha en este proyecto. Primero, tergiversar un encargo inicial de la institución, que pedía una exposición de mujeres artistas para cumplir con la cuota de lo políticamente correcto. Segundo, profundizar en la cita, entendida como encuentro afectivo y como práctica de reconocimiento, pero también como estrategia artística y curatorial feminista. Finalmente, se interroga sobre las propias condiciones de existencia de la práctica curatorial feminista en el contexto del arte contemporáneo, donde predominan formas de trabajo precarizadas y modos neoliberales de entender los afectos que invisibilizan y denostan los trabajos de cuidado.

It begins with a critical reflection on the different strategies that were implemented in this project. First, to shift an initial commission from the institution that asked for an exhibition of women artists to meet the quota of political correctness. Second, to deepen in the notion of cite, understood as an affective encounter and as a practice of recognition and as an artistic and curatorial feminist strategy. Finally, it questions the very conditions of existence of feminist curatorial practice in the context of contemporary art, where precarious forms of work and neoliberal modes of understanding affects predominate, denigrating care work and rendering it invisible.
