Olivia Ardui is an art historian, researcher, curator and dramaturge working between the visual and performing arts in Belgium and Brazil. In her latest projects, she approaches exhibition making and art history through the prism of fiction, fabulation, dramaturgy or as potential theatrical scenarios. After joining the curatorial team for the 12th Bienal de Cuenca, Ecuador, she worked as a curator at the Tomie Ohtake Institute and the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) - where she notably worked on the hanging of the permanent collection in Lina Bo Bardi's glass easels, as well as on the mutidisciplinary festival and exhibition Histories of Dance. She is currently a member of the Art History department at UCLouvain, working on independent art projects.
