Program Curator Stíftung Humboldt Forum i Programmkuratorin Stiftung Humboldt Forum @Stiftung Humboldt Forum Im Berliner Schloss

Berlin, DE

In my role as Program Curator at Stiftung Humboldt Forum, I will craft, curate, and bring to life a diverse array of contemporary performance, dance, music, and discursive events and festivals. Collaborating closely with artists, cross-functional teams, and partners, we will shape transformative experiences with and for diverse audiences. I will be offering dramaturgical support for both in-house and guest productions, as well as exciting collaborations, weaving together the \"other\" kind of narratives that only creatives and embodied specialists can deliver in their engaging languages of expression. Like in my recent role as Director of Cultural Events and Programming at Fotografiska Museum Berlin, I continue to leverage my expertise in curating innovative events.My journey has been shaped by a commitment to transdisciplinary curation and sustainable leadership. As Curator of POLY. A Fluid Show at KINDL (20••••24), Artistic Director at Galerie Wedding - Space for Contemporary Art, Berlin Mitte (20••••24), I have pioneered ‘Deep Curating’ — a method that fosters long-term, production-oriented collaborations with artists, co-curators, institutions, and diverse, engaged audiences. Through these roles, I have contributed to the renewal of curatorial practices, producing new artworks and performance formats with artists such as Justin Kennedy, Thomias Radin, Henrike Naumann, Sissel Tolaas, Emeka Ogboh, Viron Erol Vert, Hani Mojtahedi, Mikey Woodbridge, Isabel Lewis, Athi Patra-Ruga, and Ibrahim Mahama.At the Roskilde Festival, I and Viron Erol Vert created and hosted the popular stage, Ambereum (20••••22). My curatorial journey has extended to prestigious platforms such as the Danish Pavilion Venice Biennale, Riga Biennial, Nordwind Festival, Biennale für Aktuelle Fotografie, Savvy, and Schering Stiftung.Founder of CURARE Curatorial Studies (BA Mitte Berlin), GROSSES TREFFEN (Nordic Embassies), XO Curatorial Projects, and Movement Research ACROSS Festival.
