Eating The Sun: Closing Event with Alessandra Azeviche, curated by Fatoumata Gandega
Project Arts Centre
17 July 2026
Invited by curator Fatoumata Gandega, Alessandra will perform a special piece responding to the current exhibition Eating the Sun by Liliana Zeic. Exploring the themes of the show, the audience is invited to take part in an intimate experience alongside the artist, fostering queer feminism, care and body exploration.
Throughout 2026, curator Fatoumata Gandega will be responding to our Visual Arts programme through development of a new, ambitious series of collaborative interventions. This is part of our new guest curator initiative that extends our curatorial platform to emerging practitioners.
About Fatoumata Gandega
Fatoumata Gandega is a writer, filmmaker, curator, and artist based in Dublin. Her practice addresses identity, displacement, and belonging themes, centring voices from diasporic, Muslim, and Black communities. She employs a collaborative and participatory approach with groups to co-create work that reflects their authentic experiences. Inspired by interdisciplinary approaches, Gandega integrates visual arts, film, cultural archives, and oral histories to challenge dominant narratives and reimagine the possibilities of representation. Her approach is rooted in storytelling, using narrative to explore questions of social justice, inequality and resilience.
