Paz Ponce (ES, 1985) is a Berlin-based art historian and curator. Her practice explores curation as a form of care and situated memory, focusing on community-building, participation, and cross-cultural exchange (EU & Latin America). She has extensive experience designing public programmes that integrate artistic research, civic engagement, and interdisciplinary methods, from sound walks to decolonial narratives. She holds a degree in Art History from Universidad Complutense, Madrid, and completed an Erasmus exchange at Freie Universität Berlin.
As an organiser/producer, she founded several advocacy/project platforms focused on diversity: insurgencias.net (artists at risk from Latin America), neue häute e.V. (community practices & social choreographies), Organismendemokratie e.V. (rights for all living beings).
As an editor, she published a monograph on contextual and collaborative art practices in Cuba
Since 2024, she is Curator of Public Programmes & Outreach at TA T – Tieranatomisches Theater – an exhibition space, stage, and laboratory for curatorial practices within Humboldt University’s Center for Culture Techniques. In this role, she brings an eco-feminist approach to curating, drawing from performing arts, museum studies & critical pedagogy, visual culture and philosophy of science. Her practice expands traditional frameworks, fostering knowledge exchange across art, science and social practices. Through this lens, she engages in redistributing power, reassembling narratives, queering the archive, fostering networked communities, and curating the present as it unfolds.
