Dimitra Tsiaouskoglou is an art historian, curator and a cultural manager based in Athens. Her postgraduate studies include Art History (Aristotle University), Curating (École du MAGASIN, Grenoble), and Socially Engaged Practices in Museums and Galleries (Leicester University, UK).
She’s received grants and fellowships for various international workshops and exchanges on cultural management and curating (START – Create Cultural Change - Robert Bosch Stiftung, NRW International Visitors Programme, Summer Academy of Fine Arts - Salzburg, NEON Curatorial Exchange, Transforming Future Museums - British Council, Cultural Management Academy - Goethe Institut, et.al.).
Her diverse experience spans from research and writing, mediation and education to production and curating. Her experience as an art mediator (Documenta 14, NEON Organization), and her involvement in community art and education projects have fueled her passion towards artistic practices which function as agents of social change. Her past experience also includes working as office administrator, planning events and handling production tasks in education settings.
Her latest projects involve contemporary artistic practices in rural environments, and art interventions in healthcare. She's also a co-founder of Eyes of Light, a non-profit organisation based in Athens, which organises art programmes in healthcare settings.
In 2021 she received a grant from the Ministry of Culture, for a research-based project on community art practices in rural Samothrace.
In 2022 she is selected to participate as a researcher at the Biennale of Western Balkan, at the framework of Art Pluriverse programme, with the subject “Iatrosophia: On Folk Medicine and Phytogeography”.
She runs AK38, a small office & project-space at the foot of Lycabettus hill, in Athens.
