Raphael Fonseca is a curator and head of the department of modern and contemporary Latin American art at the Denver Art Museum. He holds a PhD in criticism and art history from the State University of Rio de Janeiro. The juxtaposition of different temporalities and how this can trigger contemporary reflections for audiences is crucial in his practice. Recently, he curated “Fullgas: visual arts and the 1980s in Brazil” (2024) in all venues of Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil and the 14th Mercosur Biennial: Snap, in Porto Alegre, Brazil (2025). He is part of the curatorial ensemble of Counterpublic 2026, a Triennial of visual arts held in St. Louis, USA. He works with artists from everywhere, but with a more significant focus on the ones born and/or based in the so-called Global South.
