Llevo tiempo queriendo dedicar más espacio a la lectura y a conversar con otras personas sobre lo que leo. Por eso estoy pensando en poner en marcha un 𝗰𝗶́𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼 𝗱𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮 mensual (online y en inglés).
La idea es sencilla: una vez al mes, un pequeño grupo nos reuniremos para hablar sobre un libro. Me gustaría reunir a personas que trabajan en el ámbito del arte, el comisariado, la antropología, la cultura visual o en algún lugar entre todos ellos. Hablaremos de lo que nos ha llamado la atención, de lo que no hemos entendido, de aquello en lo que no estamos de acuerdo y de cómo estas ideas pueden conectar con nuestro propio trabajo.
No pretende ser algo académico ni formal. No hace falta haber terminado el libro ni tener algo especialmente brillante que decir. Simplemente quiero crear un espacio 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘫𝘢𝘥𝘰 en el que podamos pensar en voz alta y compartir ideas.
𝙋𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙤, 𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙨. Sin cuotas ni membresías.
Algunos libros que tengo en mente:
☁︎ Tim Ingold, Making: Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and Architecture
☁︎ Alfred Gell, Art and Agency: An Anthropological Theory
☁︎ Tim Ingold, Lines: A Brief History
Esto es solo un punto de partida. Me gustaría mucho que la lista fuera creciendo a partir de las propuestas y los intereses de quienes participen.

Una nota importante: el círculo de lectura se desarrollará íntegramente en INGLÉS.
Artist Reviews
Sana has helped me define and consolidate my artistic language, offering an external and critical perspective on my practice. Her guidance has been key to gaining clarity, giving my work a stronger direction, and moving forward towards a professional environment.
— Laura Canal - Sculptural Painter, NL
“In 2020, Sana responded to a call for studio manager at my artistic studio. The tasks were very specific, as I had recently secured a couple of contracts for public art commissions. I needed someone insightful, a polyglot, interdisciplinary, visionary, and most importantly, capable of following my lead and also being able to conduct herself as a leader. Sana created an environment that met my needs; we met online several times a week with care, humor, and great efficiency. She quickly grasped what was required, asked insightful questions anticipating future challenges, and adeptly communicated with fabricators and production managers. We developed a wonderful relationship, and I am immensely grateful for what she brought to my practice. Her vast set of skills never ceases to amaze me, and I made sure to leverage her experience for the benefit of my projects. Thank you, Sana. I am also deeply impressed by your capacity for creation, both for others and yourself.”
— Monika Bravo - Contemporary Artist, Miami, USA
“Sana's fresh and contemporary approach really helped me last year when I was looking to apply for art residencies. She responded quickly to my particular requirements and enabled me to look objectively at my own writing, freshen up my CV, and put together a clear proposal - all of which led to my receiving the residency I wanted. Thank you Sana for your advice, efficiency and especially your ability to connect with individual needs.”
— Dorothy Wedderburn - Textile Artist, NL
“Sana was brought to my attention by a collegue. Sana is multilingual and experienced internationally, understanding the European and (North-)American art market/world, which makes her the right fit for my art practice. As a studio manager she provides structure, focus, feed back in our weekly meetings. She spots appropriate open calls that fit my projects, takes a handful of my notes and ideas and turns them into statements, project proposals and helps me shape my thoughts. She is fast, intelligent, reliable and highly competent. It’s a pleasure to exchange thoughts with Sana. I love working with her.”
— Beldan Sezen - (Book)artist & curator, New York, USA
“I really appreciated how Sana worked with me to format my artist statement. I found her through a fellow artist who had successfully gained a residency placement with her help. Sana was very quick to respond, and understood exactly what I needed. She very simply broke down the process, and found the questions that helped me explain the art, my practice and background, and how it all intertwines together. Will definitely go to her for help again! Thank you Sana.”
— Zoe Bedford - Glass Artist, PT/NL
“Sana works to truly understand you as an artist. She has always valued my work positively and, when she writes about it, she not only makes me feel understood but also adds layers of complexity and interest. She brings new perspectives and expands the dialogue, emphasizing my practice.
Sana is that external and pragmatic perspective you need when you are immersed in your creative process.”
— Laura Bergillos - Contemporary Artist, Spain
”I worked with Sana for over a year on preparing a strong portfolio for public art applications. This included refining writing, creating organized databases of images, sourcing calls that were a good fit to apply to, and managing the final applications themselves. Sana is highly detail oriented and knowledgeable about all facets of the art world and was an invaluable resource during this process. During this time, I significantly increased my applications and was awarded multiple commissions, which I credit to my stronger applications and increased output. She remains a trusted friend years later.”
— Ann Tarantino- multimedia artist, USA
