Biography
Gilly Karjevsky is an urban curator whose work explores the intersection of ecology and radical collectivity. Her work focuses on social technologies, highlighting the importance of care ethics in shaping regenerative and just urban futures. This approach is linked to her ongoing research into Collective Autotheory, which examines alternative ways of organizing beyond human-centered paradigms.
Between 2022-24 she was guest professor for eco-social design at the University of Fine Arts of Hamburg (HFBK), and is a founding member of the Floating Association, where she is co-founder and co-curator of “Climate Care”. From 2010 to 2021, she was co-director of 72 Hour Urban Action, a unique real-time placemaking project documented in a recent monograph published by Archplus.
Gilly’s writings have been featured in various publications, including “Collective Autotheory” in New Alphabet School #21: Practices of Knowledge Production in Art, Activism, and Collective Research, “Care for Cities” in Expanding Academy Reader #3 at the University of Antwerp, and most recently “Feeling with the Planet – ways of practicing urban curating” with Elke Krasny.
