Dagmara Wyskiel is a Polish visual artist, based in Chile. PhD from the University of Fine Arts in Krakow. Director of the International Biennial of Contemporary Art, SACO. For fifteen years she has been carrying out multiple curatorial strategies in the Atacama Desert. Manages the Latin American Superior Institute of Art (ISLA). Director and academic author of the diploma course Microcuradurías, curatorships from the margins (2022). She was field editor of the Chile Triennial in 2009. Winner of Grand Prize at the XVII Asia Biennale in Bangladesh with Juego Mixto, 2016.
Earlier this year our team members, Chantelle Lue and Gabriel Hensche, visited Antofagasta. A journey made possible thanks to the second stage of the “To-gather” program, developed in collaboration with Pro Helvetia—an entity seeking to strengthen the exchange between curators, organisers and artists from Switzerland and the South American Altiplano.
We look forward to welcoming Dagmara Wyskiel and Carlos Rendón, of SACO to Zurich.
