Psychologist and curator, Sorana Munsya told me what inspired her to work in the arts: jumping on a plane to the Venise Biennale, meeting and talking to people of the field with no fear of judgement. Just going, experiencing arts and writing.

We recorded this episode one week before the opening of the Horst festival and « The Act of Breathing » exhibition (on view until 31.07.2022 in Horst, Vilvoorde) that she co-curated with Evelyn Simons, who was our delightful guest for the episode « Dancing and connecting bridges with Evelyn Simons». In this episode we talk about black and African art, recognition, the challenge to be a woman, to be a black woman, the art as a representation of the society and the importance of voices to be heard. And I think Sorana is one of these important voices.

Co-produced by Kanal-Centre Pompidou, « The Act of Breathing » is open until July 31, 2022 on the Asiat-site of Horst, in Vilvoorde, near Brussels, while 3 artists come together at the Cinematek in Brussels, with a programme of films curated by Monique Mbeka Phoba. Even though the music festival is over, stay tuned for more events coming up by following their beautiful instagram page at horstartsandmusic.

The other exhibition curated by Sorana Munsya - « The River Shines Stronger than the Sun » by the artist Joud Toamah - will be on view until the 12th of June at Pasquart Photoforum in Switzerland.
