Donna Haraway, Staying With The Trouble
BENEDETTA CASTRIOTO
Practice
My curatorial practice builds on the idea that how we do things matters just as much as what we do, and substantively influences the outcome of our work. I believe that the essence of curating is to build bridges, to connect ideas and people. To do that meaningfully, one has to interrogate the political and social dynamics of cultural production and fruition themselves.
I am passionate about multidisciplinary projects. In particular, I am interested in labor, social and environmental justice. Central themes in my work so far have been Land and Environmental Art (with a focus on practices in the Global South), Lefebvre’s theory of the production of space, institutional critique, the politics and philosophy of labor, and material culture.
