Magdalena Moskalewicz, PhD is an art historian, curator, and author. Moskalewicz was Chief Curator of FRONT International: Cleveland Triennial of Contemporary Art, and she has worked at collecting, exhibiting, and higher education institutions internationally, including The Museum of Modern Art, New York, where she was the Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow for C-MAP, MoMA’s global research initiative; the 56th Venice Biennale, where she curated the Polish Pavilion; and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she taught and mentored the next generation of socially aware artists and arts administrators. Her recent writing includes contributions to Magdalena Abakanowicz (Tate 2022), Reconstructing Exhibitions in Art Institutions (Routledge 2023), and Was Socialist Realism Global? (MSN 2024). 

Born in Warsaw, Poland, Moskalewicz's academic research mostly focuses on socialist modernism , the neo-avantgardes, and art making/reception under Communist state patronage, while in her curatorial practice, Moskalewicz collaborates with living artists to critically investigate particular histories, localities, and identities with the goal of reshaping dominant narratives.
