    Anna Harsanyi

    Profile

    Anna Harsanyi is a curator, arts manager and educator. She graduated from Lang in 2008 with a concentration in Arts in Context. Her participatory projects and exhibitions have taken place within public and alternative spaces, exploring themes of memory, cultural identity, and collective experience. She recently completed a project presenting artist engagements with the historic Essex Street Market in New York's Lower East Side. In 2016 she collaborated with Sheetal Prajapati on Game Night, a series of events centered around play. She co-curated Hot & Cold: Revolution in the Present Tense, a public art project in Timișoara and Cluj, Romania which presented three artist projects about the 25th anniversary of the Revolution that ended Communism. In 2014, she was part of the team of curators who organized No Longer Empty's exhibition Through the Parlor in a former beauty salon. Most recently, Anna worked as the Project Manager for the Guggenheim Social Practice initiative at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

    Anna is interested in the roles that art and culture play in shaping our urban space and daily lives, and challenging what is defined as art and where art can be seen.
