Look Who's Talking: Magali Elali (NL)

She will explore key themes in the artist’s practice, such as the impacts of structural racism and the role of artistic practice as a process of healing, while sharing her own perspectives on how artists of color navigate the art world and the importance of creating spaces for exchange and support, both within and beyond institutions.
