Folgado also works as Project leader and producer for Borås Art Biennial. Previously, she worked as Assistant Curator at 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 with various municipalities and independent projects, such as RUSMUS in Uppsala, Jönköping kommun or Uddevalla kommun. https://albafolgado.com/Texts Mon, 29 Oct 2018 10:10:22 +0000 ALBA FOLGADO https://albafolgado.com/Texts ︎ Editorial Thinking: edition as an artistic method at Index, Stockholm.Editorial Concreta (ES)(2021) ︎ Término, termino, terminó.
