About Mari Spirito

Mari Spirito is the Director and Curator of Protocinema, a trans-regional arts organization based in New York with international operations. Protocinema was founded in 2011 to facilitate fluidity between the US and Turkish art communities. Spirito curated The Substance With Which The Future Is Made the inaugural pubic video art programme at Alserkal Avenue, Dubai on through May 30, 2025. She has been running Protocinema Emerging Curator Series mentorship program, initiated at 5533, Istanbul, next taking place in New York, since 2015. From 2022 Protocinema launched, with Laura Raicovich, Protodispatch, a monthly digital publication of artists’ dispatches on the life conditions that necessitate their work. In 2020, she held a revolutionary group exhibition titled A Few in Many Places featuring five artists showcasing their work in Philadelphia, Beirut, Berlin, Montreal, and Istanbul. Spirito’s practice is guided by a vested interest in innovation and resourcefulness, an asset to her role leading Art Basel’s Conversations program from 2014 to 2018. In 2023–24, she curated The Myth of Normal, a Celebration of Authentic Expression hosted at the Massart Museum, Boston. Spirito was on the Jury for Mamut Art Project, Istanbul 2025; is Vice President, Board of Trustees of Participant Inc; Board of Directors, ArteEast, both in New York and on the Advisory Committee of The Joan and Martin Goldfarb Gallery York University, Toronto.
