Rosa Sancarlo
ART HISTORIAN
Rosa Sancarlo is an Italian-born, internationally educated art historian. She is conducting her PhD studies at the University of Zürich, where she is the research and teaching assistant of the Chair for Modern and Contemporary art at the Art Historical Institute. Previously, she has completed a Bachelor in Cultural Heritage at the University of Trento and a Master in Art History at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich. She was a visiting researcher at the Art and Archeology Department of Princeton University and has worked at the intersection between art historical research and the museum realm in Vienna. Her current research explores the artistic expressions born out of the interactions between African Diasporic communities, their cultures, and diverse Western contexts, through the pursuit of de-colonizing, anti-discriminatory, and self-critical approaches. She is active also as independent curator and she is a founding member of CARAH – Collective for Anti-Racist Art History. The conversation engages reflections that connect the Harlem Renaissance to the context of Italy through transnational exchange and influence.
