Marta Dahó is an exhibition curator and teacher.

Since completing my studies in art history in the mid-1990s, I have been working as an exhibition curator. Until 2000, I worked for two particularly important organizations (Metrònom in Barcelona and Magnum Photos in Paris). Since 2005, I have been working as an independent curator, combining curating and research with teaching.
“The classes at Elisava are very focused on introducing artistic research and supporting students in the process of developing a personal project. I am very interested in sharing possible research resources that allow students to familiarize themselves with the current diversity of artistic practices, through which a rich and transformative creative process can be carried out; a process that allows for the opening of new spaces for sensitive thinking and critical thinking.”
