Presentation by the curator of GIBCA 2025

Welcome to meet Christina Lehnert, curator of the Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art (GIBCA) 2025.

During the evening, she will give an overview of her curatorial practice and thematic intrests, as well as introduce an initial curatorial outline for the upcoming biennial.

The event is part of Röda Sten Konsthall’s program series Konstfredag and will take place in Restaurang Röda Sten.

Christina Lehnert has been a curator at the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden since 2022. From 2018 to 2022, she served as a curator at Portikus in Frankfurt am Main. Before that, she was the interim director of the Kunstverein Braunschweig and received a curatorial fellowship from the Gebert Foundation for Culture in Switzerland. Lehnert has worked in numerous institutions, including the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, where she continues to serve as a member of the international acquisitions committee.

In recent years, she has curated a series of exhibitions focused on art as a reflection of political moments, often exploring micro-narratives against the backdrop of larger socio-political issues. Her curatorial interests lie in sound and performance, as well as collective practices in the arts.

Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art is a project of Röda Sten Konsthall. The 13th edition of the biennial is co-produced with Gothenburg City Library, The Gothenburg Museum of Art, Göteborgs Konsthall and Skövde Art Museum.

The biennial runs from September 20–November 30, 2025.
