Abstract

The article discusses the book *Curating Design: Context, Culture and Reflective Practice* by Donna Loveday, which examines the evolution of design curating within museum and gallery contexts from the 1800s to 2020. It highlights the book's structure, which includes historical context, the impact of economic and cultural factors on curatorial practices, and interviews with contemporary design curators. While the publication serves as a valuable resource for design researchers and students, it is noted that its focus on Euro-American institutions may limit its critical engagement with broader global perspectives and the decolonization of museum practices. Overall, the book aims to fill a gap in the literature on design curating. [Extracted from the article]
