Marisa Ravalli — American curator and gallery owner who helped shape Prague's independent art scene in the 1990s and 2000s and conceived one of its most important non-profit art centers — talks about starting her own gallery from scratch in the New Mexico desert, the reality of funding independent art spaces in the US, art projects with incarcerated teenagers, the weight of Trump-era politics on the art world, and why she'd rather talk to strangers walking in off the street than chase Instagram algorithms. Can art spaces survive without social media? And what does it feel like to finally answer to no one?
