Anya Harrison is a curator and writer based in Montpellier, France. She has a background in art history and literature at the University of Oxford, Université de Sorbonne – Paris IV and The Courtauld Institute of Art, London, and has worked internationally as an independent curator and within institutions. Since 2019, she is curator at MO.CO. Montpellier Contemporain where she has organised solo presentations of Betty Tompkins (2021), Marilyn Minter (2021), Max Hooper Schneider (2022), Aurélien Potier (2024) and Ivana Bašić (2025), as well as thematic group exhibitions, such as Soleil Triste (2023) and Sense Unknown (2025). Previously, she has worked with Le Bicolore - La Maison de Danemark (Paris, 2023), the Kosovo Pavilion - 58th Venice Biennale (2019), the Baltic Triennial 13 (2017-2018), Manchester International Festival (2017) and Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (Moscow and London, 2011-2013).

Her research interests include sexual and body politics, questions relating to transgression, representation and marginality (and their limits), often read through feminist, avant-garde and subcultural lenses. She is currently working on a major group exhibition Under the Skin, opening at MO.CO. in June 2026, exploring the notion of monstrosity, mutant and monstrous forms in contemporary art, as well as a solo exhibition of June Crespo (December 2026) in collaboration with Secession, Vienna, and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin. As a writer, she contributes regularly to magazines (Flash Art International, Frieze, Texte zur Kunst, Numéro art, Arcane), exhibition catalogues and other publications.
