Lucía Sanromán

Lucía Sanromán is currently the Chief Curator at Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City. With more than thirty years of experience as a curator of socially engaged art, she mediates between artists, audience and participants and institutional priorities, to together shape new values that address the present. From 2018 to 2024 she was the Director at Laboratorio de Arte Alameda, in Mexico City, where she foregrounded engaged, feminist and indigenous artists in exhibitions such as ‘Pedro Lasch: Entre Líneas / Be-tween the Lines’ and ‘Escucha profunda: Prácticas hacia el mundo al revés’ {Yutsil, María Sosa, Naomi Rincón Gallardo y Fernando Palma Rodríguez}. From 2015 to 2018 she was the Director of Visual Arts at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, and organized a key series of survey exhibitions of women pioneers of socially-engaged practice: ‘Tania Bruguera: Talking to Power / Hablándole al Poder’, ‘Futurefarmers: Out of Place, in Place’, and ‘Suzanne Lacy: We Are Here’ (co-organized with SFMOMA and co-curators Rudolf Frieling and Dominic Willsdon).
