Victoria Froberg (she/her) was born in Washington D.C. She attended Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, Virginia Commonwealth University for Art Foundation and graduated with a BA in Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies in 2016. She completed her Bachelors degree at the Universidad de Ciencias Pedagogicas Enrique Jose Varona/ The Autonomous University of Social Movements in Havana, Cuba in 2016. Victoria is currently pursuing her MFA at Rome University of Fine Arts in Art Curation and Management.
As a lifelong illustrator, painter, mixed media artist, and in recent years, explorer of movement, sound, and space, her curatorial practice explore themes of the varied journey to self identify, questioning how to move from spaces of grief to play. Victoria’s curatorial journey involves working directly with artists, centering the LGBTQIA+ community. She believes the text can be a tool to further facilitate the artists’ vision, but also can be used to bring a wider audience into art spaces, often writing from a space of fantasy, monstrosity, world building, shared experience, and transformation.
After many years of co-organizing community centered healing events for those who face soci-economic barriers, teaching, and managing, Victoria felt there was no reason these methods could not be merged within the art world. She is passionate about creating artistic spaces that exist within the frameworks of healing justice, disability justice, anti-racism work, reproductive justice, and LGBTQIA+ justice. Victoria believes art to be a device to jump realms, and is always curious to see how medium can be used to challenge existing narratives that limit perceptions of ability and the physical form.
