Filipa Ramos will curate the 19th edition of the Lofoten International Art Festival, which will take place across the Norwegian arctic archipelago in June 2027.
A curator and writer, Ramos teaches at the Institute Art Gender Nature of the Academy of Art and Design FHNW in Basel. Her research has been ecologically-focused, reimagining the relationship between humans, animals, and environments. In 2025 she authored The Artist as Ecologist (2025) and is currently organising the LOOP Festival in Barcelona and the ongoing symposia series The Shape of a Circle in the Mind of a Fish, created with Lucia Pietroiusti, with whom she also curated Songs for the Changing Seasons at the first Vienna Klima Biennale in 2024 and Persones Persons, the 2022 Biennale Gherdeïna.
Ramos described Lofoten as the perfect context for her work, ‘a territory where artistic and environmental realities are so closely connected’ and said her exhibition will embrace ‘forms of prolonged listening… fostering exchanges between humans and more-than-humans, the Biennial will be dedicated to attentive practices of listening and the ways they may bring individuals together, compose different narratives, and shape new imaginaries.’
