Power Ekroth (SWE/NO) is an independent curator, critic, and educator, and the managing editor of SITE Zones. She works with Stockholm Konst, commissioning and acquiring art for public spaces in the city. Recently, she curated The Curse of an Unstoppable Appetite for the Greenlight Triennial in Skien and Porsgrunn, Norway, and is preparing the exhibition Beyond the Safe Zone at Borås Konstmuseum, opening May 17th, 2025.

Her curatorial practice takes its point of departure in themes related to democracy, social justice, and political precarity, often in relation to the dismantling of welfare structures. Projects like Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast for Momentum Biennial 2013 addressed socio-economic frameworks threatening democracy, while The Curse of an Unstoppable Appetite focused on capitaloscene structures contributing to climate collapse. In Cairo, recurring exhibitions such as Off with their Heads and Persistence through Joy have engaged with intersectional vulnerabilities and resilience under political repression.

Ekroth founded and directs the curator residency CurExRes which supports visiting curators in connecting with local art communities in Sweden, with the potential of curating exhibitions or holding talks at the end of their stay.

From 2022 to 2024, Ekroth was a coordinator between SWAN Emergency Residencies and Artists at Risk, providing shelter for artists fleeing repression and war. Though no longer formally employed by SWAN, she continues to assist with coordination.
