Sandrine Honliasso

Sandrine Honliasso has followed an uncommon path which has included some huge leaps, but throughout she has always stayed true to her insatiable desire to understand the Other. She began her graduate studies in sociology, looking for sociological tools for grasping the behavior of a society. During her studies in Quebec, she obtained a Cultural Administration Certificate from Bishop’s University, and worked as an exhibition assistant at the Foreman Art Gallery and then at that gallery’s Community Art Lab. She became vice-president of the Caribbean and African Student Association and was the curator of the exhibition Marissa Largo, Tinikling Lesson. She obtained her Master’s in Sociology at the University of Nantes, in the department of “Expertise in Cultural Professions and Institutions.” She went on to work as a communication officer at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Villeurbanne and then as project manager for the nomadic contemporary arts fair, “The Maverick Expo.” She is the author of “Monologues,” a digital space dedicated to current artistic creation. In 2017, she started studies at Sorbonne University for a Master’s in “Contemporary Art and its Exhibition,” which included an internship in production and mediation at the Kadist Art Foundation. She is interested in practices that embrace the social, cultural, and political issues of contemporary societies under the prism of an indefinitely renewed questioning of “man and himself.”
