California, lives between Dubai and Berlin) is a curator and writer specializing in contemporary and time-based art. Her curatorial approach is artist-driven, and seeks to amplify transdisciplinary practices that engage in forms of critical inquiry and storytelling. She is the founder of Companion Culture, a curatorial office that empowers clients to develop projects at the forefront of contemporary art. From 2018 to 2025 Long served as Artistic Director and Curator of the Julia Stoschek Foundation, where she oversaw exhibitions, new commissions, and discursive formats across both locations. Long has curated solo exhibitions by artists such as Sophia Al-Maria, Meriem Bennani, A.K. Burns, Stephanie Comilang & Simon Speiser, Rindon Johnson, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Ulysses Jenkins, Tarek Lakhrissi, Theodolous Polyviou, WangShui, and Young-jun Tak, among others. Recent large-scale group exhibitions include A Fire in My Belly (2021); at dawn (2022) Unbound: Performance as Rupture (2023); and After Images (2024). Prominent performances include presentations by caner teker, Labour (Farahnaz Hatam & Colin Hacklander), (La)Horde, Matana Roberts, Marina Rosenfeld or Colin Self. Long has been the co-host of two podcasts, “Unreliable Narrator” and “Unbound,” and is the editor of Lynn Hershman Leeson: A History of Her Own (Mousse Publishing).  She was curator-in-residence at Loop Barcelona and Matadero Madrid, and has taught Curatorial Studies at Folkwang University in Essen. She has written catalog essays and articles for institutions such as KW - Institute for Contemporary Art, mumok, Phileas - The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art, or the V&A museum, and magazines such as CURA or Harper’s Bazaar.
