Sofía Dourron (b. 1984, Argentina) is an independent curator, researcher and writer based in Buenos Aires. Her current work researches the relationships between Latin-American decolonial perspectives and post-humanist philosophy, the notion of the decolonization of the unconscious, ecological thinking, and artistic practices and imaginations. She also researches art institutions in Latin America, focusing on the paradigms of the museum as a colonial device, searching for alternative genealogies that escape the modern universalist canon.

She is currently Curator Hope the Doors Collapse by Luciana Lamothe, the Argentina Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale International Art Exhibition. She was recently Associate Curator of THIS TOO, IS A MAP, the 12th Seoul Mediacity Biennale.
