Marie de Ganay
Marie de Ganay is an independent curator based in Brussels. With a focus on the enduring relationships between human and non-human worlds, she has curated projects in Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom.
Through various interdisciplinary projects, she seeks to create spaces for experimentation, using emotion and imagination to foster moments of poetic resistance. Her curatorial approach, rooted in feminist thinking values empathetic listening and collaboration. Emphasizing the role of a curator as a facilitator of connections, she actively explores how curation can be approached with care and conversations at its heart.
Her recent research delves into connections between ecofeminist movements and contemporary art practices, grief, and narratives about the interconnectedness of life. She also seek to question the power relationships engaged in the cultural sector.
She holds a Master of Arts in Curation from Goldsmiths University in London, UK. Additionally, she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Management from Icart in Paris, France.
