About our Speaker:

Miami-based Susan Caraballo has over 28 years of experience as an arts consultant, producer, curator and creator. Susan formerly served as Artistic Director at ArtCenter/South Florida (now Oolite Arts) after having worked with the Contemporary Arts Project at Vizcaya Museum, the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation, and running an independent arts space Artemis/PS 742 for many years. In 2016, she began to focus on social issues with the exhibition “The Future Isn’t What It Used To Be” presented originally at ArtCenter and subsequently at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. In 2019, Caraballo organized a symposium at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, “ARTiculating Sustainability: Resilience in the Climate Crisis?” as part of the annual Congress of the IKT International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art. Between 2019-2022, she was a resident artist/curator at the Deering Estate and Live Arts Miami where she conceived the climate-focused immersive arts experience, Prelude to 2100 in collaboration with over 30 multidisciplinary artists. This project led to the development of The Things Lab with collaborator Kerry Phillips. In addition, she is exploring her own artistic practice through the intersection of curating, directing, and collective artmaking while focused on the ecological crisis. This interdisciplinary practice is grounded in her experience in curating and her interests in performance, creative writing and social practice.
