Vita

Bárbara Romero Ferrón is a Research Associate at the Provenance Lab, Leuphana University of Lüneburg, where she works on the "Modern Migrants: Paintings from Europe in US Museums" project. She is also an affiliated Senior Researcher at iArtHisLab at the University of Malaga. Her research brings together provenance and exhibition studies, complex systems theory, and network analysis through an intersectional lens. She is particularly interested in understanding how cultural phenomena evolve, how systems function over time, and how social, political, and economic relations shape culture. She is currently involved in research projects and exhibition initiatives with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the Complutense University of Madrid, and the Getty Research Institute. 

 

Bárbara holds a BA (2015) and MA (2017) in Art History from the University of Málaga (Spain) and a PhD (2024) from the CulturePlex Lab at Western University (Canada), where her doctoral research examined exhibition narratives and the dynamics of Spanish art in nineteenth-century exhibitions as complex relational systems applying network analysis and complex system theory. From 2019 to 2024, she worked as a lecturer in the Department of Languages and Cultures at Western University. Bárbara was also part of the 2022–2023 cohort of graduate fellows at the Getty Research Institute and completed a research visit at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands in 2022.
