Ilaria Sponda

ILARIA SPONDA is an in(ter)dependent curator, writer, and editor. She lives and works in Munich. She holds a BA in Arts, Media, and Cultural Events from IULM University, Milan, and a MA in Culture Studies at Universidade Católica Portuguesa. She works at the intersection of contemporary art, image-culture and their distribution. Her research and work are rooted in in(ter)dependence as a curatorial practice itself. Her curatorial work has indeed been supported by alternative dialogical work of knowledge sharing outside common circuits of financial support given both the current economic crisis and exclusion policies at play in the art world. Her commitment to questioning the curatorial redefines the parameters of the artist-curator relationship, inviting a reexamination of how cultural knowledge is generated and disseminated in our interconnected world.
