As an art historian, I began taking my first steps in the curatorial practice by carrying out projects related to gender issues, hand in hand with emerging photographers. With the passage of time and the arrival of the pandemic, I also investigated the limits and benefits of virtuality, through online curation .
Currently, those initial researches are still present, but reconsidered after my time at the Master in Curatorial Studies (UNAV). In addition to deepening my knowledge in terms of praxis, I was also able to give way to new interests in interdisciplinary projects of the visual and performing arts.

"No Place is a Home" (2021)
Curatorial project within the framework of the Master's Thesis in Curatorial Studies of the University of Navarra (2021), based on the donation by Patricia Phelps de Cisneros to the Museum of the University of Navarra, of a set of photographs of contemporary Latin American and Spanish artists.
In this case, an interdisciplinary project was thought to merge the performing and visual arts in an audiovisual device that guides the viewer through the different rooms. The tour is suggested by lights and sound that tell a story written by Lopez based on a selection of 40 photographs of the donation.

"El frío por los ojos" (July 2019)
Curator of the exhibition of the visual artist Fernando Hierro at Arcimboldo Contemporary Art (Buenos Aires) by Pelusa Borthwick.
This exhibition arises from the journey of three years in a tireless theoretical and practical investigation between Latin America and Europe. For years, Hierro has been working on various aspects of both realities in which he continuously moves, coexisting with geographical resistances that leads him to create his art from his constant concern and wonder.

"Estructuras de la Memoria"
(March 2019)
Curator of the photographic exhibition by Mia Amore included in the Conferences for Memory commemorating the anniversary of the Argentinian Civic-Military Coup of 1976, organized by Casa Sofía Cultural centre (Buenos Aires).
The images captured by Amore focus on Parque de la Memoria, an emblematic space in the city of BsAs and focus on the materiality that constitutes it, precisely the architectural works and the sculptures located in a esplanade of 14 hectares of green space surrounded by the river. In these photographs, the viewer is faced with stone, metal, cement and plastic as interrelated elements that, far from colliding with the lushness of the natural space, merge into it and re-signify it. Just as our past re-signifies our present

"El cuerpo, mi ley, mi transgresión"
(November 2018)
Curator of the photograph exhibition by Anne Diestro where she investigates the female nude from a transgressive and unconventional point of view.
In 2018, she carried out several sessions with female models, investigating the various shapes of bodies and their relationship with the erotic. Far from social and mercantilist idealizations, femininity is exposed, making it clear that there is no single way to be a woman, nor to be beautiful. From different angles, the body is no longer hesitant, but full, ecstatic and, obviously, empowered. In this sense, the tour of the works is not outlined in a clear-cut way. Everyone is free to make their interpretations and connections, experiencing female sexuality and enjoyment, from themselves.
