Joanna Warsza is a Program Director of CuratorLab since 2014 and an interdependent curator and editor interested in how art functions outside of the protection of the institutional walls and white cubes. Currently she is a co-curator of the Polish Pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale. Together with Övül Ö. Durmusoglu she co-curates Die Balkone in Berlin, the 3rd and the 4th Autostrada Biennale in Kosovo, and the 12th Survival Kit in Riga. She is an editor of over 10 publications, recent ones including: Red Love. A Reader on Alexandra Kollontai (co-edited with Maria Lind and Michele Masucci; Sternberg Press, Konstfack Collections, and Tensta Konsthall, 2020), and And Warren Niesłuchowski Was There: Guest, Host, Ghost (co-edited with Sina Najafi 2020). Originally from Warsaw, she lives in Berlin and occasionally in Stockholm. 

 

CuratorLab is a one-year international curatorial course. One of our leading questions is how to understand — paraphrasing Audre Lorde — our interdependence in relation to our own individual power and creativity? We are exploring radical approaches to engagement, contributing to the pertinent conversations of our times, practicing curating beyond exhibition making, having collective fun and applying horizontal learning. Every year we work on one common topic where everyone contributes in an own way. CuratorLab is open for all interested in collective work, thinking out of the box, and keen to form a solid research group sharing the language of art.
