Leticia Maciel

Leticia Maciel, director and founder of espace_L art gallery was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1973. She studied journalism and graduated with an MBA in retail. Leticia has worked in different industries such as communications and publishing, before moving to Geneva in 2006.

With the creation of  espace_L in 2011, Leticia's desire was to offer an original concept, a place to exchange ideas and promote encounters. Espace_L's aim is also to be a bridge between european and brazilian contemporary art.

espace_L  is not only a nod to Leticia's name but also a play on words, "elle" in French, as Leticia is a strong advocate for women artists, regularly showing their works.

Leticia will share with us her journey and take us through her current exhibition, Brasilitude, which offers an immersion into Brazil through the art work of five contemporary artists.
