Lorenzo Piero Holder III is a multilingual cultural programmer dedicated to fostering global collaboration and supporting organizations that advance socially impactful cultural projects.
Born in West Berlin, Holder is a visual artist, curator, and lecturer whose multidisciplinary practice interrogates redlining, institutional memory, and the essentialization of identities.
