That's subversive in the most practical sense. Is academia aware of it
and its import? That is what curatorship (a friend from past days was
and may still be the curator of the South African National (Art)
Gallery, I am thinking of the role he and his predecessors play in the
Arts landscape): inform potentially interested parties of the
existence of something valuable.

Of course, it is clearly not only academia that needs to know and
curatorship would extend beyond that, clearly. Sponsorship is probably
even more important. A curator may be able to justify a salary from a
successful crowd-funding effort, for example.

Am I being unreasonably optimistic?

Lucio.
