Nuria is an independent curator from Spain living in Manchester (UK), holding a Masters Degree in Contemporary Curating from the Manchester School of Art, and a BA in Sociology from Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). As an international curator, one of the main focuses of her practice is to connect artists from different contexts in order to expand their artistic knowledge and network globally.
Another element of Nuria's work is her sociological background, which has a relevant impact in the subjects the curator selects for her projects. Subjects that affect human being are always present in her research, themes such as identity, gender, migration, LGBTQ+ and mental health. Nuria is a non-limited individual whose work involves experimental practices and new curatorial methodologies.
The curator has worked as a freelancer in Manchester for the last years, having curated and produced exhibitions and other creative programmes at PS Mirabel, SLOE Gallery and Manchester Art Gallery, among others. Nuria was also part of a curatorial residency and exchange between Manchester and Madrid in 2018, and currently udertaking a residency programme at La Junqueira (Lisbon). She has also worked for different art organisations such as the Manchester School of Art, the Portico Library, HOME, Paradise Works, the Whitworth and the Manchester Museum.
