Valeria Sacco is an Italian curator currently completing her Master’s in Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) at the Glasgow School of Art. Her curatorial practice explores themes of memory, language, cultural identity and storytelling, with a focus on collaborative methodologies. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Economics for Art and Cultural Heritage Management, and her previous research during the MLitt investigated the politics of fragmentation in contemporary photography, drawing on feminist perspectives and questions of representation.

Her most recent project, Multilingual Matter(s), is a publication and public event that brings together artists working across languages and cultural contexts. Through visual works, objects, and multilingual texts, the project examines how meaning shifts in translation and how artistic practice can open space for multiplicity. During her work placement at Street Level Photoworks, she wrote a reflective text entitled The Emotional Weight of Displaced Objects, published on the organisation’s website, which became a key inspiration for the project.

Valeria is particularly interested in curatorial formats that foreground care, participation, and shared authorship, while questioning dominant frameworks of language and visibility in contemporary art. She is drawn to projects that centre marginalised voices, and to practices that navigate the space between languages, places and identities. She is especially motivated to work within multicultural contexts and contribute to inclusive environments that foster intercultural dialogue and exchange.
