Küratör

Küratör is a Turkish word that translates to "curator" in English. In its primary and most common usage, a küratör is a person responsible for a collection of exhibits or artifacts, typically in a museum, gallery, or exhibition. Their role involves selecting, organizing, and presenting items for public display. This includes researching the history and significance of the objects, writing descriptive labels and catalog entries, and conceptualizing the overall narrative and flow of an exhibition.

Beyond the museum context, the term küratör can also be applied more broadly to individuals who select and organize content for various platforms. For instance, a music küratör might be someone who compiles playlists for a streaming service or a radio station. Similarly, a digital küratör might be responsible for selecting and organizing content for websites, blogs, or social media feeds. In essence, a küratör in any field is someone who acts as a discerning gatekeeper and organizer, shaping the experience of an audience by making choices about what is presented and how it is presented. The core function remains consistent: to identify, interpret, and make accessible a specific set of items or information.
