Marie de Ganay
Marie de Ganay is an independent curator and cultural worker based in Brussels. With a background in curating (Goldsmiths University, London) and cultural management, her work includes organising exhibitions, public programming well as writing. She has curated projects in Belgium, France, and the UK.
At the heart of her work is a commitment to building meaningful relationships with artists, approaching curating as a way to foster encounters and make space for complexity to emerge. She collaborates with artists whose practices engage with environmental and political transformations, as well as personal and collective narratives. Her approach is deeply informed by feminist theory and ecological thought, shaping her collaborative methods and critical engagement with the power dynamics of the cultural sector.
Her recent research explores the intersections between ecofeminist movements, contemporary art and sound practices. She is dedicated to creating spaces for reflection, dialogue, and processes that evolve organically.
