Biography

Haizea Barcenilla (MFA Curating, Goldsmiths College, London; PhD in Art History, UPV/EHU) teaches Ancient Art, Museology and Contemporary Art. Her areas of research are museology, curating and contemporary art from a gender perspective, analysing the ways of creating discourses through the encounter with the public and the construction of the gaze. She has published on the role of exhibitions in the historicisation of women artists, on the gaze and artistic representation of the vulnerable through the concept of the translucent strategy, and on ways of organising the commons and proposing cultural practices from the feminist economy. She directs doctoral theses in these fields of study and is co-PI of the projects “Desnortadas. Territorios de género en la creación artística contemporánea” (R&D) and “Cuerpo, autoría y género en la creación contemporánea vasca” (Universidad-Empresa-Sociedad). She is an art curator and contributor to the journal “Berria”.
