Biography
Maria McLintock is a curator, writer, and educator with research interests spanning history and critical theory – including feminist, decolonial, and ecological thought – as well as borders, migration, politics, and post-conflict cities.
She has held curatorial positions at the Design Museum, London, and MoMA, New York, and is a co-curator of the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2027. Maria is co-initiator of System of Systems, a long-term curatorial and publishing platform examining the infrastructures of migration, through which she has co-edited the Managing Displacement anthology series including Outsourcing, Extraction (2024), Prediction and Containment (2026).
She is undertaking a PhD at The Bartlett, UCL – funded by a Research Excellence Scholarship – investigating the emergent use of ex-military sites as temporary asylum accommodation. Raised on the border of Northern Ireland during intersecting crises, her background has shaped a sustained interest in politics, representation, and spatial justice.
