Challenges and Definitions of Planta Inclán's Live Arts Curatorship

Abstract This text deals with the working conditions and vision of Planta Inclán, a live arts space born in 2019 and located in the southern part of the city of Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina. This is a place created and dreamed by artists that survives within the enormous cultural maelstrom of the city. During October 2024 I conducted interviews with most of Planta's artistic and managerial team and which, in dialogue with my own on-the-ground field experience as a protagonist worker and creator of what is generated there, constitutes the voice of this research. This is complemented by an overview of studies on the current state of the scene in Buenos Aires, literature on curating live art and contributions from feminist philosophy and cultural studies. This research project will be located in its particular context of production and traversed by the specific conditions that surround it, providing a framework for developing and articulating a curatorial perspective for Planta based on its history and present situation.
