From 26 May 2024 MASI will host the solo exhibition of Monika Emmanuelle Kazi (Paris, 1991, lives and works in Geneva). The artist is the winner of the 2024 edition of the Award established by the Bally Foundation in collaboration with MASI to promote the artistic and creative world of Ticino and Switzerland.
In her work, Monika Emmanuelle Kazi focuses on the displays of memory left by the body in domestic spaces. Interweaving her own personal experience with a universal public dimension, she explores the emotional charge of everyday objects and how they can become indicators of a shifting story. Her artistic practice combines media as varied as writing, performance, video and installation.
