Cale Garrido

Info

Cale Garrido (she/her) is a Spanish independent journalist, curator, and photo editor based in Hamburg, Germany. She works on documentary and artistic photographic projects, exhibitions, and publications. She is a member of the curatorial team at RAW Photo Triennale Worpswede 2023.

After her Journalism studies, she self-published two photobooks with documentary photographer Philipp Meuser: Kadosh (2015), and Neorrurales (2018), focussing on the politics of housing and demographics in different contexts. Since 2016, she has been a photo editor for Greenpeace-related publications in Germany. This experience has fostered an abiding interest in environmentally engaging projects and brought her to curate group shows like Urgent Arts of Living (Kaunas Photography Gallery, 2019) and What if Earth becomes Uninhabitable (Co-curator Peter Lindhorst, PHmuseum, 2020). As a member of the artists’ and photographers’ collective APPARAT, founded in Berlin in 2017, she curated the exhibition Die Anderen sind Wir. Bilder einer dissonanten Gesellschaft (Brandenburgischen Landesmuseum für Moderne Kunst in Cottbus, 2019). She regularly collaborates with Kaunas Photography Gallery in Lithuania and is co-editor of the publications Joan Fontcuberta: Crisis of History (Co-curator Alison Nordström, 2020) and Women's Workshop (upcoming).

She worked as an assistant curator at the 7thTriennial of Photography Hamburg in 2018. Later in 2020, she joined the curatorial team as a coordinating curator for the 8th edition under the artistic direction of Koyo Kouoh and together with fellow curators Rasha Salti, Oluremi C. Onabanjo, and Gabe Beckhurst Feijoo.
