About

Eleonora Schianchi (1997) is an independent curator, educator and producer based between the Netherlands and Italy. Her practice, shaped by a range of international experiences with institutions and makers, combines critical reflection with a hands-on approach. Driven by a strong interest in socially engaged contemporary artistic and photographic narratives, she adopts collaborative methodologies in which processes evolve through ongoing dialogue with the makers.

Her collaborations include FOTODOK (Netherlands, ongoing), Museum Hilversum (Netherlands), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Denmark), Musei Civici di Reggio Emilia (Italy), and New Art Examiner (United Kingdom).

Eleonora holds a Master’s degree in Arts, Museology, and Curatorship from the University of Bologna, and she completed part of her academic journey at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna.
