Raphael Daibert (1988, Brazil) works as and with artists. Based in Berlin, his practice majorly focuses on artistic research and art projects that encompass curating, researching, teaching and organizing.

He is one of the founding members of Cruising Curators, a curatorial collective interested in performative practices that promote ephemeral and coincidental encounters in public space.

In 2025-2026, together with ReRouting, Cruising Curators led the program Dissident Paths: Walking Together as a Method at the neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK) in Berlin. Moving between artistic practices and reflections on walking as a curatorial method, the book Walk Notations was published in February 2026. 

Raphael is currently a PhD candidate at Leuphana University Lüneburg, in Germany, where he worked as research associate and teached at the Institute of Philosophy and Art History (2022-2025).

From 2026-2027, Raphael Daibert is DAI's HTDTWT education leader/academic supervisor.
