Lorena Juan is artistic director of the Biennale für Freiburg. She was exhibition curator at transmediale (2020–24) and co-curator of the nGbK public art programme Kunst im Untergrund (2019–24).She founded COVEN BERLIN, a queer art collective devoted to collective healing, embodied research, and humour in confronting systemic violence. Holding a doctorate from Salamanca University, she lectures on art, media, and gender.

During the residency at PART, she will engage with Vienna’s institutional, grassroots, and diasporic cultural ecologies—visiting artist studios, independent spaces, archives, and community initiatives. She aims to listen, document, and weave these local narratives into a broader circuitry of exchange. Concerned by an increasingly polarised global climate, she is interested in exploring modes of collaboration and care within post-migrant, decolonial discourses.
