Cale Garrido
Info
Cale Garrido (she/her)
is a Spanish independent author, photo editor, and curator focusing on contemporary photography. Based in Hamburg, she collaborates internationally with artists, collectives, art institutions, festivals, and galleries. She is a guest lecturer at Hanover University's study program Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography and Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie in Berlin.
After her Journalism studies, Cale 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), What if Earth Becomes Uninhabitable (co-curator Peter Lindhorst, PHmuseum, 2020) and NEXT (co-curator Daria Bona, Barkenhoff at RAW Photo Triennale Worpswede, 2023).
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 has edited two of their latest publications: Joan Fontcuberta: Crisis of History (co-curator Alison Nordström, 2020) and Women's Workshop (2023).
She was a curatorial team member at RAW Photo Triennale Worpswede in 2023 and the 8th Triennial of Photography Hamburg in 2022.
