Laura Salas Redondo

Laura Salas Redondo (b. 1988, Havana, Cuba) is an independent curator who lives and works between Havana, Paris, and Biella. She studied art history at the Faculty of Arts and Letters of the University of Havana, completed a degree at the Institut Catholique de Paris, and received a master's degree in contemporary art from the Université Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV) in 2014.

Since 2014 she has worked as an independent curator with a practice spanning major international figures and emerging Cuban artists. She collaborates regularly with Galleria Continua across its spaces in San Gimignano, Beijing, Les Moulins, and Havana. Since 2015 she has coordinated the international embassies of Rebirth / Tercer Paraíso — Michelangelo Pistoletto's ongoing participatory project — with a particular focus on its development in Cuba. She co-curated, with Lorenzo Fiaschi, Pistoletto's solo exhibition at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana (2016). For the 12th Havana Biennial, she curated a series of major international projects, including Pistoletto's Tercer Paraíso performance in Cathedral Square with one hundred musicians from the Arts School of Havana, a site-specific intervention by Daniel Buren across the streets of La Habana Vieja (now permanent), and a sixty-hour performance by Nikhil Chopra in Plaza de Armas. Her subsequent projects include a solo exhibition for the Cuban artist Susana Pilar in Venice during the 57th Biennale (2017), the Forum Rebirth 2017 "Geographies of Transformation" in Havana, and collective exhibitions in Milan and Havana.
