We are in the Multispecies Studio, talking with curator and author Aneta Rostkowska about ecological sensibilities in fine art education and ecological and socially "sustainable" approaches to practices of art and exhibition making.
Aneta Rostkowska is a curator, researcher and writer, and a graduate of the de Appel Curatorial Programme in Amsterdam. She is pursuing experimental curatorial practices in which politically relevant storytelling develops through carefully constructed sensual environments. Rostkowska studied philosophy, economics and art history in Kraków, Poznań, Heidelberg and Frankfurt am Main. From 2016 to 2018 she worked as a curator at the Academy of the Arts of the World in Cologne. Since January 2019 she is a director of Temporary Gallery, Centre for Contemporary Art in Cologne, in 2026 she was appointed guest professor for public art at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne.
The interview was conducted in July 2025 by professor Ute Hörner and assistant professor Pascal M. Dreier-Wang MA.
