A talk on ways of doing and sharing while curating as gleaner. Her practice attends and collects those positions or manifestations of social thought that given their radical nature, are usually excluded or consigned to the margings

Violeta Janeiro Alfageme (Vigo, 1982). Curator and researcher. Her work articulates practices of collaborative nature. Reflects the possibilities of the community making through projects that explore alternatives in the production, reception and channeling of art.

Her projects experiment with methodologies and forms of action and participation that are cause and effect on the development of the exhibition, rehearsing ways of being together with that unique ability that Art has to dismantle any fixed structure, projecting assumptions and impossibles.

Currently a PhD candidate from the University of Santiago de Compostela. Curates the residency program The city of the bodies that indulge in it at Planta Alta. Works with the collections of Enaire Foundation in further exhibitions at Madrid and Santander, and the CA2M and ARCO collections for the Itiner shows of the Madrid Region. Teaches at Node Center for Curatorial Studies in Berlin.

She has worked as Curatorial fellow at the Guggenheim Museum in NY, Cultural Coordinator at the Consulate of Spain in Shanghai with the AECID, Assistant Curator in the Spanish Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennial.
