Sara Garzón, PhD, is a Colombian curator and art historian. Her scholarship and curatorial practice focus on decoloniality, temporality, and ecocriticism, advancing critical frameworks that examine histories of resistance, knowledge exchange, and transnational networks of artistic solidarity. Through sustained research, exhibitions, and publications, she has contributed to shaping contemporary curatorial discourse across Latin America and beyond.

Sara received her PhD in Art History from Cornell University and her MA in Art History from the Institute of Fine Arts at NYU. She has been the recipient of prestigious grants and fellowships, including the Andrew Harris Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Vermont (2021–2022), the Jane and Morgan Whitney Curatorial Fellowship (2020–2021), and the Lifchez-Stronach Curatorial Fellowship (2014–2015) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

She is Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the Harn Museum of Art, where she is committed to expanding the representation of Indigenous and Latinx artists, particularly in the field of new media. Garzón currently serves as curator of the Bienal Internacional de Arte de Antioquia y Medellín (BIAM27) and previously co-curated the II Bienal das Amazônias, Verde Distância (2025). She has curated exhibitions globally, and led different research initiative such as South to South: A Meeting on African and Afro-Diasporic Technologies (2023–2024), developed in collaboration with Pivô in Brazil and Centre d’Art Waza in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, with support from the Humboldt Forum in Berlin.

Garzón has contributed extensively to exhibition catalogues, edited volumes, peer-reviewed journals, and leading international art publications. Her most recent edited volume, The Anti-Manual of Care and Accountability, will be published by Onomatopee in the Spring of 2027. She also edited and curated Worldmaking Practices: A Take on the Future, a publication supported by the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros (2020) that has become an important reference in discussions of Latin American futurity. Her article, “Manuel Amaru Cholango: Decolonizing Technology and the Construction of Indigenous Futures,” received the Best Essay in Visual Culture Studies Award from the Latin American Studies Association in 2020.
