Louise Bjeldbak Henriksen is an independent curator trained in both art history and political
science. This dual background shapes her practice, which often centres on politically and socially
engaged projects that attend to perspectives often overlooked. She has curated modern and
contemporary art exhibitions for institutions internationally including Kunsten Museum of
Modern Art Aalborg, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, ARoS Aarhus Art Museum and Museum
Beelden aan Zee. Together with the American curator Amy E. Smith, Henriksen curated Jessie
Kleemann’s Kamiit Walking in the Kalaallit Illuutaat Pavilion at the 16th Gwangju Biennale, You
Must Change Your Life. The exhibition is on view in the historic Heekyungru from September 5
to November 15, 2026.
