Line Ajan

Her curatorial research centers around subversive uses of moving image and language to enact dissident politics, focusing notably on feminist approaches, diasporic perspectives, and transnational histories. These interests are reflected in exhibitions she has organized, such as: Unbound. Performance as Rupture at the JSF, Berlin; mine is a warm hole at afterhours, Paris; and The Location of Lines at the MCA Chicago, among others. Her affinity with translation, intersectional feminism and decolonial thinking led her to join the collective Qalqalah in 2019, making collaborative approaches a part of her practice and a research topic, as evidenced by the hybrid project The Collective Laboratory that she co-curated at Mudam Luxembourg in 2022.

Between 2019 and 2020, Line was the Barjeel Global Fellow at MCA Chicago and the Allen and Overy Curatorial Fellow at Mudam, Luxembourg between 2022 and 2023, contributing to the museum’s collection strategy in new media art. She was Assistant Curator at the Julia Stoschek Foundation in Berlin from 2023 to 2025. Between 2017 and 2022, she worked in different capacities at Imane Farès gallery, eventually becoming its director.

Her writing has appeared in Mousse Magazine, Metropolism M, Art Asia Pacific, and Texte Zur Kunst, as well as collective publications such as Basma al-Sharif (2025), Ce que la Palestine apporte au monde (2023), and A World History of Women Photographers (2022).
