About

Anaïs Lepage is a French curator, writer and art historian based in Mexico City and Paris.

She holds a background in modern literature and humanities, and has studied contemporary art and art history at the Ecole du Louvre, as well as curatorial studies at the Panthéon-Sorbonne University.

Through a multidisciplinary approach, she researches feminist and proto-queer histories, as well as sentimental, mystical, fantastical, and care practices, to explore the intersection between art and affects. In parallel, she reflects on situated ways of writing about art by blending theoretical, fictional, and intimate references in her texts, performance readings, and genre-bending curatorial projects. 

She has initiated projects with Madison Bycroft, Julien Creuzet, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Rachel Rose, and Daniel Otero Torres; and has collaborated with Salon ACME and Material Art Fair, the Palais de Tokyo, the Louis Vuitton Foundation, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris (MAM), the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) in Chengdu. Over the years, she has developed a keen interest in the art scenes of the Americas and the Caribbean, the Nordic Countries, South Africa, and France.

Anaïs contributes to the queer and feminist creative writing workshop How To SupPRESS University Writing led by Émilie Noteris. She taught Curatorial Studies at the Panthéon-Sorbonne University in partnership with the Duperré School of Design and Applied Arts.
