Cristina Thorstenberg Ribas

Cristina Ribas works as an artist and researcher, not very often as a curator. She had organised residencies for artists and several interdisciplinary projects. She is currently a candidate in the Art Department of Goldsmiths College, University of London. Cristina created the open platform Desarquivo.org, a platform that aims to give access to documents, articles and images around the production of collective, critical, radical and public sphere oriented artistic and non artistic practices in Brazil. Her practice in the broadest sense provokes articulations between cartography, memory, history, archives, politics and the common. In 2014 she conceived the project Political Vocabulary for Aesthetic Processes to which twenty professionals were invited (including teachers, artists, performers, researchers, sociologists, historians and philosophers). The Vocabulary was produced as a book, intending to work transversaly in the spaces of politics and artistic practices in the actual context of a cycle of protests in Brazil. She was born in 1980, she is brazilian and mother. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
