Alba Folgado is a curator based in Uppsala (Sweden), who holds a MA in Curating Contemporary Art at the Royal College of Art, London and followed CuratorLab at Konstfack University, Stockholm. 

She is co-curator of Köttinspektionen art space in Uppsala and founder of ‘A Movement to Hold’, an archive of artistic representations that revisits critical and non-hegemonic experiences. Previously, she worked as part of the team of Stedelijk Museum Bureau in Amsterdam.

Folgado has curated a number of exhibitions and programmes at international institutions, including Gasworks (London), Konsthall C (Stockholm), Moderna Dans Teatern (Stockholm), Meetfactory (Prague), TRAFO (Szczecin), CentroCentro (Madrid), and JA.CA (Belo Horizonte), among many others.

Her practice usually engages with the visual narratives of social movements and uprisings, including affective and counter-historical questions. A big part of her research is also focussed on spatial questions, which lead her to curate multiple projects in the public space, as well as itinerant programmes. The last public commission she is curating is a collaboration with Hillside Projects, Cecilia Germain and Pontus Pettersson for Jönköping Municipality in Sweden.
