Art History Haggards

  • Diego Barrenechea

Six years ago, I found my passion for art history during an advanced placement Art History course in High school and decided to share this love with others by creating an art-history focused blog. Thus, I founded and still operate “Art History Haggards,” an Instagram account focused on art history and the discovering of new art, which gathers today over 27,000 active followers. I continued this independent project throughout my university period, during which I traveled to 12 countries, curating content regarding historical and contemporary art. Besides, I decided to start collaborating with cultural influencers, writers and exhibition spaces, writing exhibition reviews, promoting emerging artists, with the goal to engage and converse with an online community of art lovers. Building this following has inspired me to continue Art History Haggards as a digital curatorial project, experimenting with diverse forms of art writing, visual analysis and content for the growing community of art lovers.
