Corina Oprea (1981) is a curator, researcher, and editor working at the intersection of contemporary art, decolonial methodologies, and performance-based practices. Her work explores how art can surface overlooked histories and generate spaces for collective reflection and shared knowledge production. She is currently IASPIS Guest Curator and co-curator of the Romanian Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
Oprea has held curatorial positions at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, contributing to research, exhibition development, and collection presentations. As Curator for Timișoara 2023 – European Capital of Culture, she oversaw major international collaborations, large-scale group exhibitions, and a performance festival.
Previously, as Managing Editor of L’Internationale Online, she shaped the editorial and research strategy of a network of 15 European museums, advancing critical discourse on decoloniality, ecology, and institutional solidarity. As Artistic Director of Konsthall C (2017–2018), she initiated and developed The Decolonial Option, a two-year program foregrounding performative gestures, counter-histories, public discourse, and publishing practices addressing decolonization in the Nordic context.
She is co-editor of several critical publications, including Climate: Our Right to Breathe (K. Verlag, 2022). Oprea holds a Ph.D. from Loughborough University, UK, with the dissertation The End of the Curator – On Curatorial Acts as Collective Production of Knowledge.
