Paola Poletto

Paola Poletto’s work includes photography, drawing, writing and creative direction. Her work shifts between DIY and institutional-based practices. In both she is interested in the representations of collaborative productions where visual constructions are rigorous narratives, exercising multiple points of view. With a practice focused on long-form durational research and presentation, she has co-edited/curated/organized visual and literary reflections on creativity, social practice and care, and the role of the producer and of being produced. Her practice is complemented by her current doctoral research on the mapping of hybrid group experiences focused on staff, audiences and communities in museums. As both a part-time doctoral student and Director of Engagement & Learning at the Art Gallery of Ontario, she is able to keep her feet in the warm waters of the university and the museum.
