Danielle-Maria Admiss

Danielle-Maria Admiss is an Iranian-English curator, researcher and writer based in Edinburgh.

Admiss is currently a Stanley Picker Fellow between Stanley Picker Gallery and Kingston University, where she is working to create a collective, holistic and just socio-energy transition plan for the gallery. She is a curator at transmediale for refusal 2021–22, founder of www.toxicitysrea.ch and teaches design theory and criticism at NCAD, Dublin.
