Ania Rodríguez

Ania Rodríguez is a curator and art historian specializing in international exhibition practices and curatorial research, with a focus on cross-cultural visual narratives and the construction of images across historical and contemporary contexts. Her work approaches exhibition-making as a site of knowledge production, engaging with diverse artistic traditions and audiences through interdisciplinary and transnational frameworks.

With over 20 years of experience, she has led Arte A Produções in Brazil, developing and producing large-scale exhibitions in collaboration with major institutions such as Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, the Barbican Centre (London), the State Russian Museum (St. Petersburg), and the Ludwig Collection. Her practice integrates curatorial inquiry with complex production processes, spanning research, institutional partnerships, and the realization of exhibitions across multiple venues.

Her curatorial projects include Blueprints for Beauty: 100 Years of Coral Gables Streetscapes at the Coral Gables Museum; Alphonse Mucha: The Legacy of Art Nouveau; Construções Sensíveis: The Latin American Geometric Experience in the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection; Mirages: Contemporary Art in the Islamic World; and The Russian Turning: The Avant-Garde in the Collection of the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, among others.

She is currently a Research Fellow at El Espacio 23 (Jorge M. Pérez Collection), where her research focuses on an in-depth assessment of the 64 works by Vik Muniz within the collection. Through this process, she examines the body of work as a coherent conceptual and material corpus, resulting in a curatorial project that explores the artist’s sustained investigation into image-making, perception, and the mediated nature of visual experience.
