Patrizia Costantin is a lecturer and researcher in curating whose work investigates the curatorial as a site for knowledge production and political worldbuilding. She is particularly interested in exploring the role of curating as a relational practice in negotiating with reality, contemporaneity and the technological realm.

Costantin completed her PhD in Curatorial Practice at the Postgraduate Arts and Humanities Centre (Manchester Metropolitan University) in May 2019. Her thesis, machines will watch us die: a curatorial study on the contemporaneity of digital decay, contextualised and reflected upon the research exhibition machines will watch us die, which explored digital decay after the material turn in media studies. It focused on exploring the various layers of the impact of digital materialities on our understanding of time and on the environment. Her research methodology is based on a relational and postmedium approach to the curatorial.

She is currently Head of Visual Cultures, Curating and Contemporary Art (ViCCA) major and University Lecturer in Curating at the School of Arts, Design and Architecture.
