Sofía Dourron

about

Sofía Dourron is a researcher and independent curator. Her current work investigates the relationships between decolonial perspectives, certain ideas from posthumanism, environmental philosophy, and artistic practices. She also continues her inquiries into the institutional nature of art in Latin America, focusing on museums as colonizing devices and on the possibilities of designing alternative genealogies that escape the modern universalist canon.

Her recent projects include Energy and Optimism for Life. 60 Years of Ruth Benzacar Gallery (2025, Ruth Benzacar Galería de Arte), It Would Be Better to Be Part of the Mud by Malena Pizani (2025, Fundación Federico J.
