Rebekka Laugesen

Rebekka Laugesen is a Danish art historian and curator working with an intersectional feminist approach in both freelance and institutional contexts. Her curatorial work engages with narratives that challenge hegemonic structures and conventional thinking. She has a key interest in art and aesthetics as strategies of resistance and has worked with witchcraft, notions of care, queer life and theory, performativity, and materialism as methods of reclaiming power. Her curatorial work investigates how to lower the tempo and create spaces that provide care and counteract the language and matrix of capitalism.

She has worked at institutions such as SMK – The National Gallery of Denmark, ARKEN Museum of Contemporary Art, and Copenhagen Contemporary. She currently serves as a volunteer Arts & Activism curator at Roskilde Festival and as deputy director at the newly opened Kunsthal n in Copenhagen.

Laugesen studied art history at the University of Copenhagen and Goldsmiths, University of London. In 2024, after more than a decade as a board member at Krabbesholm Højskole, she stepped out to join the school as an external art consultant and curator, running the exhibition program unboxing at Four Boxes Gallery.
