Portrait Charlotte Desaga

I am an art consultant with a background in project management and curation. A graduate of the Academy of Media Arts Cologne and a former gallery owner, I have worked closely with artists, private collectors, and foundations, spanning the international art world – with two decades of experience.
Since 2015, I have co-directed the art program at Parley for the Oceans, New York, creating initiatives that unite contemporary art with environmental activism. My role centres on identifying and onboarding artists, initiating projects at the intersection of art and environmental activism, and developing creative fundraising campaigns.  I also work with Office Reiner Opoku in Berlin as a Senior Consultant for exhibitions and art projects. As part of this collaboration, I co-curated the annual St. Moritz Masters art and culture festival in Switzerland for three years, starting in 2013. Appointed as Artistic Director of the St. Moritz Art Academy (2013–2021), I contributed in an honorary capacity to its international programming.
In addition to my consulting work, I am the founder and host of the podcast series Art Unquoted (launched 2026), a curatorial project exploring thoughts in contemporary art. I also write thoughtful miniatures on art and artists.
Art and the Planet is my creative alias.
