Alona Pardo is a curator at the Barbican Art Gallery, where she has curated a number of exhibition and catalogues, including Another Kind of Life: Photography on the Margins (2018), Vanessa Winship: And Time Folds (2018), Dorothea Lange: Politics of Seeing (2018) and Trevor Paglen: From ‘Apple’ to ‘Anomaly’ (2019).

Alona also curated the groundbreaking Masculinities: Liberation through photography (2020), an exhibition that aims to disrupt easy assumptions about masculinity, taking as its starting point the idea that gender and sex are not synonymous, and that gender is learned and acted out.
