Francisca García (Santiago de Chile, 1980) has been researching, writing, teaching, and curating projects since 2007 related to Contemporary Arts and Cultures from Latin America. Her research suggests that geographic movement influences disciplinary, temporal, and transmedia shifts. García’s work has provided significant conceptual insights based on Poetry, Visual Theory, Spatial Theory, Feminism, Affects, and Collective Memory.

 

Her book Películas que nos miran: práctica curatorial en torno a Raúl Ruiz is forthcoming (2026). She also co-authored the books Archivo Guillermo Deisler: textos e imágenes en acción (Ocho Libros, 2014); Perder la forma humana: una imagen sísmica de los años ochenta en América Latina (MNCARS, 2012); and La expansión de la academia. Prácticas, procesos y problemas en la investigación artística (Ediciones UFT, 2020).

​

She has curated exhibitions in Chile and abroad drawing on the archives of Guillermo Deisler and Raúl Ruiz, and has collaborated on curatorial projects with artists and filmmakers such as Valeria Sarmiento, Victoria Jolly, Javier Rodríguez, Juan Castillo, Sofía Nercasseau, Mariana Najmanovich, and Érik Bullot, among others.

Francisca received her Ph.D. in Cultural Studies from Universität Potsdam in 2017 and is currently a Full Professor at the Universidad Metropolitana (UMCE Chile).
