Judit Carrera
Director of the CCCB
Judit Carrera graduated in Political Science at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and earned an Advanced Studies Diploma at the Institut d’Études Politiques-Sciences Po in Paris. In that city, she worked in the analysis and prospection office of the UNESCO and, before directing the CCCB, was the driving force and head of the Centre’s Thought and Debate programme.
With over 25 years of experience in the field of culture and international relations, she has promoted European projects and collaborated with institutions such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, the Open Society Foundation, the Rolex Foundation, the British Academy, the London School of Economics, the European Time to Talk network, the Collège d’Études Mondiales in Paris, the BSC, ICREA and the PEN Català.
She has lectured at Bard College (New York), the Venice Biennale, the Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio, the Center for Architecture (New York), Cerisy (Normandy), the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris) and the Musée des Civilisations d’Europe et de la Méditerranée in Marseille.
She is a regular contributor to the media and a member of literary juries and the boards of various academic and cultural institutions, both locally and internationally. In 2022 she won the Diffusion Award of the Setmana del Llibre en Català and was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.
