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. Driven by a deep commitment to genealogy, he recently completed a four-year archival residency across the Atlantic, tracing the complex and often painful threads of his family history.
