Gabriela Moldovan (b. 2000, Satu Mare) lives and works in Cluj-Napoca. She is an independent curator with an interdisciplinary practice situated at the intersection of art, scenography, and cinematography. She is interested in creating immersive and participatory environments in which the exhibition space becomes a living stage—a fluid framework that guides visitors through a coherent and reflective narrative.
Her curatorial practice is driven by a strong interest in how space, objects, and visual technologies can shape perception and audience engagement with contemporary art. Gabriela understands space not merely as a site of display, but as an active element of artistic discourse, capable of generating emotion and fostering authentic connections between the public and the artwork. She is also a PhD candidate in Cinematography and Media, where she researches multidisciplinary ways of thinking at the intersection of cinematography and curatorial practice, with the aim of creating immersive experiences for visitors.
