Cindy Sissokho is a curator, cultural producer, art consultant, and writer with a specific focus on anticolonial, social, and political practices within the arts and culture. Her curatorial work is driven by the urgency to broaden and disseminate knowledge and artistic production from systemically racialized and marginalized perspectives.

She currently serves as a Curator at the Wellcome Collection in London. In 2024, she co-curated the French Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale with Céline Kopp, featuring artist Julien Creuzet. Previously, she worked as a Curator at New Art Exchange and was part of the Exhibitions & Public Programmes team at Nottingham Contemporary.

Sissokho has curated exhibitions such as our spatial stories live in performative futures (2022) at HANGAR, Lisbon; this is a love poem (2021) at EXILE Gallery, Vienna; and Breaking Translation(s) (2021), an online exhibition for HANGAR, Lisbon. She also curated Black Tales, a multimedia sound installation by artists Mónica De Miranda and Xullaji for the 4th edition of the Lagos Biennale in 2023.

Her curatorial and theoretical reflections are articulated through writings, including art reviews and interviews for publications like Ocula, Terremoto, The Sole Adventurer, The Kitchen (NYC), and Nka: The Contemporary African Art Journal.

Sissokho is also passionate about artist development and artistic consultancy, engaging in mentoring roles and portfolio reviews with organizations such as PHMuseum (Italy)
