Brigit Arop is a freelance art worker based in Tallinn with a background in semiotics, who mainly curates and writes. She is interested in queer-feminist artistic practices that use material-sensitive approaches, text, autotheory and humour to
shift stale values.

Arop has a bachelor’s degree in Semiotics and Cultural Theory from the University of Tartu and a master’s degree in Curatorial Studies from the Estonian Academy of Arts. Her last curatorial projects were the duo exhibition of Sarah Nõmm and Maria Izabella Lehtsaar entitled Beauty in the Belly of the Beast in Draakoni Gallery, Tallinn (2023, co-curated with Anita Kodanik), and the group exhibition Greetings, and Whatever Customarily Restores a Bond About to Break in Kogo Gallery, Tartu (2023).

Since 2022 she is a visiting lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts. She co-runs the artist-run space Infinite Life Gallery in Tallinn, Estonia and performs with the dumpster-diving group Üle Prahi Collective.
