Sandra Maunac is an independent curator and director since 2017 of the Trobades & Premis Mediterranis Albert Camus in Menorca (Spain). She is also the president of the Plataform for a Center of Photography in Spain with today 8.600 members.
Majored in History with a DEA in International and African Studies at the Autonomous University of Madrid (Spain), she has been coordinator of cultural activities at the Three Cultures Foundation in Seville (Spain). She has worked in Cairo, Egypt, as representative of artists at the Egyptian Center for Culture and Art abroad. She was part of the organization of the African Film Festival of Tarifa (Spain) and in charge of artistic direction and lateral activities from 2005 until 2010. Until February 2016, she has been co-director with Mónica Santos of Masasam, a platform created in 2007 specialized in curatorial proposals and in the photographic image.
During this last fifteen years, Sandra Maunac has tried to defend and promote, as a mediator, projects that have revolved around issues related to the image.
As a specialist in postcolonial issues and cultural studies, her main objective during the first years of her career was to promote artists from the non-Western orbit, in order to provide other views, change the hegemony of the predominant Western image and enlarge our perceptions of the world.
Currently, she is focused from local to international. Always from an international, global, multiple and varied perspective, she is convinced that our responsibility is to erase cultural borders. This means, among other things, to defend creators who are aware that the image is no longer enough, critics of the media and whose languages are transversal and multiple, defending projects that explore the possibilities of telling stories in another way.
