Denise Araouzou Cyprus
Denise Araouzou is an independent curator, researcher, and writer, currently, she is a junior curator of "Mediterranean 19: School of Waters (BJCEM)". Mediterranea 19 –School of Waters imagines a biennale as a temporary school inspired by radical and experimental pedagogies and how they challenge artistic, curatorial, and research formats. From this standpoint, School of Waters acts as a collective tool to defamiliarise stereotypes that manipulate our geographical imaginaries, especially those linked to the Eurocentric interpretation of the Mediterranean area. Her research-based practice interweaves architectural theory, urban studies, social sciences, environmental studies, contemporary art, and new media practices. She is learning to cultivate and promote ecological sustainability in curatorial and art practices. She has an MA in History of Art from the University of Glasgow.
