Valentina Iancu
Valentina Iancu (b. 1985) is a writer with studies in art history and image theory. Her practice is hybrid, research-based, divided between editorial, educational, curatorial or management activities and oriented towards solidarity, activism, political art. After almost a decade of activating within the National Art Museum of Romania, where she took care of the modern Romanian art heritage and signed a series of extensive exhibitions, Iancu works independently, between Bucharest and Berlin, devoting herself in particular to queer studies of contemporary art. She frequently publishes local and international art history studies, and since 2011 she has been writing for Arta Magazine.
