She is Curator of General Ecology at the Serpentine Galleries, London as well as the curator of “Sun & Sea (Marina).” She is one of the curators of the 13th Shanghai Biennale, “Bodies of Water.”

At the Serpentine, Pietroiusti founded several programs and curates the long-term General Ecology project.

In 2022, Pietroiusti will join James Bridle in curating a section of the Helsinki Festival, dedicated to artificial and more-than-human intelligence.
