Karina Ganea

Karina Ganea (b.1999) is an emerging curator and researcher living and working in Cluj-Napoca. She initially studied at the National University of Theatrical and Cinematographic Art "I.L. Caragiale" in Bucharest, Department of Theater Studies. The last years marked the beginning of her curatorial path, which she formalized with a Master's degree in Contemporary Curatorial Practices at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca. She is currently a student at the Doctoral School of the same university, researching the mechanisms of socio-politically engaged art with a focus on community mobilization, ethical representation and resilience. She describes her own practice with the phrase hood curator dumpster diving for art – a self-deprecating promise for a more accessible art world for all, regardless of social context.
