Amy Rosenblum-Martín is a New York-based, bilingual independent curator who perforates the edges of the art world to let it breathe—building biennials, exhibitions, and convenings that interconnect Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and the U.S. Her practice of socially-engaged curating is rooted in long-term relationships between artists, institutions, and the communities museums were not built for, but can center. Former staff at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, and The Bronx Museum, she has also worked at MoMA and MoMA PS1 including as guest assistant curator of Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration, one of The New York Times' most important art moments of 2020. Hyperallergic named her Adjani Okpu-Egbe U.S. solo debut at ISCP one of New York's top ten exhibitions of 2021; Artforum selected her Ana Mendieta: Thinking About Children's Thinking at Sugar Hill Children's Museum as a Critics' Pick.

An early Latinx art specialist in U.S. institutions, she co-authored the original Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros website and coordinated PAMM's landmark presentation of Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin, 1950s–1980s. She curated Corporeal Intelligence at the Bronx Museum—among the earliest major U.S. museum exhibitions centering Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica, and Félix González-Torres—and has organized U.S. museum solo debuts for Quisqueya Henríquez, Marisa Morán Jahn, Javier Téllez, among others. Current projects include co-curating the 2025–26 Bienal de Cuenca and conceptualizing its 2027–28 edition; directing Flip It and Reverse It: We Are One with All There Is, a series of exhibitions and convenings joining Cuenca, Port of Spain, Guatemala City, Miami, and New York; and moderating the museum panel at the 2025 Stellenbosch Triennale. In Nuestro Vaivén (Our Sway) at The Ringling (2025–26), with Latin Florida artists, community leaders who had never seen themselves as belonging in a museum co-created installations and then designed celebrations for their communities inside the exhibition: life honored as art, the institution opened from within. She holds an MA from Columbia University, is faculty at The New School, and serves on the Board of Directors of Beaconhouse National University in Lahore, Pakistan.
