ELKE KRASNY (AT): Feminist urban curating – curatorial cares, urban practices, and feminist epistemologies

Elke Krasny, who is based at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, is a leading European expert in curatorial theory, and in her research, curatorial and teaching practice she addresses the highly topical issues of care and the ecological and social sustainability of the operation of art, art making and curating. Krasny was a fellow at the CCA Canadian Centre for Architecture. Her curatorial work on hands-on urbanism was shown at the 2012 Venice Biennale for Architecture. Together with Angelika Fitz she edited Critical Care. Architecture and Urbanism for a Broken Planet (MIT Press, 2019). Her book Living with an Infected Planet. Covid-19 Feminism and the Global Frontline of Care (transcript publishers, 2023) focuses on militarized care essentialism and feminist recovery plans in pandemic times.
