Curatorial collaboration with Ilaria Conti

La Nueva Fábrica is happy to announce a residency and curatorial collaboration with independent curator Ilaria Conti. The research project, to be developed across multiple stages as a two-year research project, will culminate in a curated exhibition and program series in early 2023.

As an independent curator, Ilaria Conti focuses on research-based practices engaging with decolonial epistemologies and the relationship between institutional infrastructures, communal care, and civic agency.

Previously, she served as Exhibitions and Programs Director at CIMA New York, Assistant Curator of the 2016 Marrakech Biennale, and Samuel H. Kress Interpretive Fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among other positions. She serves as Advisor in the Visual Arts for the American Academy in Rome and holds a BA and MA in Art History and Curatorial Studies from the University of Rome La Sapienza and an MA in Visual Arts Management from New York University.
