Sana López Abellán, Amsterdam 1981, is a Dutch/Spanish curator, artist and anthropologist based in Spain. Her work is centred around transcending disciplines, oscillating between theory and practice and between the tactile and the symbolic.

She has been involved in a variety of exhibition projects in The Netherlands, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Cyprus and Spain as well as coordinating public art commissions for contemporary artists in the United States. Trained in curating at EINA, Barcelona and the Node Centre for Curatorial Studies, Berlin, she brings her background in anthropology and material culture from Leiden University, The Netherlands, specialising in the relationship between the body and haptic textiles in the Ecuadorian Andes. 

Upcoming projects include curating the 4th Larnaca Biennale (Cyprus) 2025, Along Lines and Traces. Parallel to her independent practice, she has been running Alzueta Gallery´s contemporary art hub Palau de Casavells in the Catalan countryside, for the last two seasons. She has been granted a research grant by the City of Girona in 2025, for the project He is a very good person, connecting lines, textile and belonging, in a contemporary art project.
