The authors of the article attempt to expand the discourse on curatorial practices in the field of performing arts by introducing the notion of shared room. By making reference to their own experience in curating, they create a metaphor which serves both as a tool for describing the precarious position of curators and for designing alternative strategies of doing this work based on the ideas of solidarity, relationality and sharing. In the first part the authors present their understanding of curatorial practice situating it in the context of those definitions of curating that they recognise as dominating in the Polish context. The second part of the article deals with four aspects of the shared room metaphor: its relational ontology; the precarious condition of its inhabitants; the strategies of sharing employed in it; and the reproductive work done in it and understood as creative practice.
