Roberta Atraste
Roberta Atraste (LV) earned her bachelor’s degree in art history
and theory at the Art Academy of Latvia and is currently pursuing a
master’s degree in curatorial studies at the same institution. In 2024,
she broadened her education through an Erasmus+ program, studying at the
Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. A significant part of her educational
experience was the Erasmus+ traineeship at the State of Concept Athens
Gallery in Greece (2022), where she worked as a curatorial assistant. As
a curator, Roberta has organized various exhibitions both in Latvia and
abroad. Roberta compiled the visual arts journal ‘Radošā birokrātija’
(‘Mākslas Žurnāls’, 2024), which features contemporary visual and
textual narratives about bureaucracy in the Latvian art scene. Together
with philosopher Sofija Anna Kozlova, she co-edited the catalogue for
the Survival Kit 15 festival (2024). She frequently tries to publish
articles on art. Recently she has done so on platforms like ‘Wunder
Kombināts’, ‘Punctum’, and ‘Blok Magazine’.
