Larisa Zmud
Guest Curator

No one better to join our #COHABITING BORDERS project, the 7th edition of the Together Apart program, than Larisa Zmud, a feminist artivist who defines herself as a curator “in the broad sense of the practice, as a creator-with-others of flexible, incomplete, mutant knowledge”. Larisa is part of the selection jury as a guest curator to select the 20 artists from Argentina (or foreigners residing legally in Argentina) who will receive our creation grants with the support of the Metropolitan Fund for the Arts of the City of Buenos Aires.

Within her practice, Larisa directed the SlyZmud gallery from 2011 to 2018, between 2016-2018 she was the secretary of MERIDIANO, Argentinean Chamber of Contemporary Art Galleries. In 2018 she founded Sin Destino Aparente, groups for reading texts and critical thinking with a gender perspective.

Since December 2020, she has been part of the National Directorate of Cultural Policies for Equality of the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversities of the Argentinean Nation. Zmud is part of the artistic and feminist collective Belleza y Felicidad Fiorito, where she teaches cooking classes and coordinates the Comedor Gourmet, a space in which she works on the idea of access to pleasure, contrary to the popular saying “when there is hunger there is no stale bread”.
