Cristina Ramos

Independent curator and writer

Cristina Ramos is an independent curator and writer based in Asturias. Her practice is articulated through assembling exhibition mechanisms that put artistic theory into practice, and that seek to alter our relationship and awareness with the surrounding environment. She is interested in the links between new materialist theories, ecological feminist epistemologies and corporeal-oriented phenomenologies.

She has founded and curated the independent projects The Livingroom (London, 2014-2016) and Arnis Residency (2017-2020), and collaborated with Art Night Festival London in several occasions. She has written numerous exhibition texts and essays that combine an experimental poetic and materialist tone, as well as critical pieces for Arts of the Working Class, A-Desk and Berlin Art Link. She is currently engaged in art pedagogy at the Dutch Art Institute.

Recent projects include an online video programme for Art Viewer on the materiality of dreams (2022); the group exhibitions “Marine Aspirations”, TACA (Palma de Mallorca, 2021); “Being pulled all over the place”, Scan Projects (London, 2020) and “The inhalation of an oceanic carbon breath” (Etopia Centro de Arte y Tecnología, 2019), which revolve around water as a space of interconnectivity between different geographies, bodies and species, as well as a place from which to talk about the consequences of the Capitalocene.
