Lidia Persano
Curatorship, PROYECTOR Staff
Curatorial Texts and Coordination of Agent Meetings
I am an art historian, with a Master’s degree in Conservation and Evaluation of Cultural Heritage from the Università degli Studi di Genova, and a Master’s degree in Teacher Training from the UCM (Madrid).
I have specialised in art curating and management through curatorial programmes at Sotheby’s in New York and the Universidad Abierta de Chile; I have been awarded the European Curatorial Encounters scholarship twice from the CreART network. Since 2014 I have been working in the cultural sector in charge of management, research, curating and education.
My interest in social change and its visual representation has led me to focus on issues related to photographic and editorial production in post-Franco Spain, urban and landscape mutations, neuroscience, identity and memory in order to remember the past and narrate the present. At PROYECTOR I curate art and develop cultural encounters to promote the exchange of ideas between agents from different countries and cultures.
