Together with Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, Alya Sebti, Thiago de Paula Souza, and Keyna Eleison, Anna Roberta Goetz curates this year's Bienal de São Paulo, with strategy and communications advising by Henriette Gallus. Founded in 1951, the Bienal de São Paulo is the largest exhibition of the Southern Hemisphere. It has attracted over 1,000,000 visitors during its last edition, along with its traveling shows, making it one of the most visited art events internationally.

Anna Roberta Goetz will present the concept for this year’s edition, offering insight into the curatorial processes and considerations that informed the making of this significant exhibition, which will feature over 100 artists and a significant amount of new commissions. The program also includes four Invocations in Marrakech, Guadeloupe, Zanzibar, and Tokyo, a series of encounters traveling worldwide leading up to the opening in São Paulo in September.

Curator and researcher Anna Roberta Goetz works and lives between Switzerland and Mexico and is part of the curatorial team of the upcoming 36. Bienal de São Paulo 2025. Her research interests lie in artistic strategies that challenge prevailing hierarchies, narratives, and structures in society. Her most recent institutional positions were at the Marta Herford Museum and the Museum MMK für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt. She has organized solo exhibitions with artists such as Rodney McMillian, Cinthia Marcelle, Banu Cennetoğlu, Ed Atkins, Laure Prouvost, Florian Hecker, Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, Isa Genzken, and Subodh Gupta, and most recently the following group shows Long Gone, Still Here: Sound as Medium (Marta Herford, 2023), Genealogies in the Middle East and Latin America (Sharjah Art Foundation, 2021), and New Town Ghost (Kadist, 2021). Under the title Casa Tomada, she organized an extensive exhibition and performance program in Mexico City (2018).
