Raquel de Anda, Curator/Producer
Raquel is a Curator/Producer for Words Are Monuments, a multi-year Natural History Museum initiative exploring how place names encode histories of land seizure and erasure—and how naming can be reclaimed as a tool for resistance and cultural resurgence.
As an independent curator and cultural producer whose work sits at the intersection of art and activism, Raquel focuses on climate and immigration across exhibitions, film projects, public interventions, and cultural organizing for mass mobilizations. Most recently, she co-designed the Frontera Culture Fund, an Arts & Culture initiative of the Mellon Foundation supporting Borderlands communities. Recent projects include Let’s Get Free (Philadelphia), Like The Waters We Rise (New York), Shattering the Concrete (Project Row Houses, Houston), and creative production for the People’s Climate March, which engaged hundreds of artists and 400,000 participants.
