Leto Erin KeunenAbout
Feed Overview
Leto Erin Keunen (b. 2000)is a Brussels-based visual artist and designer. Her practice explores gender narratives, domestic rituals, and embodied infrastructures within normative cultural frameworks.

Her work collects fragments, relations and stories from everyday life. She combines and restructures these elements to present them as speculative interpretations that challenge our perspective on power relations and the gestures that perpetuate them.

Everyday habits are turned inside out until they become vulnerable, relational and permeable. Her handmade objects and installations bring together sculptural forms and fluid materials that possess a performative potential. The resulting deconstructions of social conditioning and gender identity translate into spatial interventions suspended in states of liminality.










Nightshop Dialogues (2023)
Intervention at JJS Nightshop in Ghent, 
facilitated by Yeliz Akman and Leto Keunen. 

Carpet
Wool, silk, casted bronze
200 x 200 cm As night falls, visibility in the city decreases. However, there are places in the city that have the potential to bring light to dark urban spaces. Can a night shop—and that neon-lit spot by the door— be a source of life and function as an urban safe space?

This intervention in a night shop explores its potential as an urban safe space. During the night, a carpet is placed in the shop, bringing together local residents and passersby to engage in conversation.
