Leto Keunen is a Brussels based visual artist and designer exploring the intersections of objects, social dynamics, and power structures. Her practice critically examines gender narratives and the relationships between public and domestic spaces, using spatial and material practices as a tool for questioning and reimagining existing systems.
Through a research-driven and participatory approach, she engages in installation art and speculative scenarios to challenge societal norms and foster critical reflection. Her work considers everyday practices as sites of resistance and collective transformation, seeking to inspire alternative modes of social interaction and shared responsibility.
