Théo-Mario Coppola is a curator and arts writer. They have curated exhibitions as part of biennales, festivals other series, and have worked with museums and art centres. Their critical and curatorial writings have been published in multiple languages.

They are committed to active citizenship, mutual aid and trans-professional, trans-disciplinary and trans-national alliances.

Viewing aesthetic issues as inherently tied to social struggles, their curatorial practice engages with research-based, experimental, narrative and political forms.

Théo-Mario Coppola conducts research on the notion of 'commons' as developed by Elinor Ostrom, through the lens of intersectionality. The research and the projects that result from it address the notion from a curatorial, theoretical and critical perspective. They examine experiences of concrete utopia, personal and collective narratives of emancipation, and initiatives of resistance, and how these enable the transformation of values in art, governance and society.
