Elena Sorokina, curator

The Art of Social Change

For the 10th episode we invited Elena Sorokina, a Russian author and curator based in Paris. During our interview, she shared what it means for her to curate exhibitions, as a way to support artists, to put ideas and art into space, and to ask questions. We discussed the subjects that nourish her practice such as extractive capitalism of the economies of care.
She gave us an insight into the incredible challenge behind creating her first ecological exhibition titled "Crystal Clear" currently open at the Pera Museum of Art in Istanbul. From production to recycling, the exhibition raises fascinating questions on the ecological ways to create, produce and exhibit art.
