Jordan Rowe

Jordan Rowe is a writer, curator and researcher based between London and Berlin with an interest in urban cultures, heritage, and identities. This summer he has been co-developing ‘Doors of Learning: Microcosms of a Future South Africa’, a new exhibition at Bauhaus Dessau telling the story of how anti-apartheid activsts set up experimental education campuses for those exiled from the country in the 1970s and 80s, with assistance from international actors including the GDR. Earlier this year he co-curated ‘When Spring Smiles Again On This High Favoured Town’, a speculative heritage exhibition funded by Historic England at Stanley Arts. Previously he has served as Urbanist in Residence at the Museum of London, as a Research Fellow at Theatrum Mundi, manager of UCL’s Urban Laboratory, and as the lead in compiling an institutional race equality implementation plan for UCL. Last year he completed a curatorial residency at Zentrum für Kunst und Urbanistik in Berlin, funded by an Arts Council England grant, and has also recently collaborated with a range of organisations, including the Whitechapel Gallery, Open City Documentary Festival, the University of Manchester and We Made That.
