After collaborating with  press agencies and working for an institution in Paris (Palais de Tokyo), Nadia Fatnassi became Fair Manager and Head of International Relations for ART-O-RAMA art fair in Marseille in 2009, then Head of Press and Public relations for Manifesta 13 Marseille. In parallel, Nadia Fatnassi created in 2017 the Press and Public Relations agency Close Encounters.

“I choose the projects I work with carefully. What they share is a strong artistic ambition and an attentiveness to the many realities that shape contemporary societies. 
The artists, curators and institutions I collaborate with often explore questions of memory, place, identity, migration, ecology and transmission, always through distinctive forms and narratives. 

While these concerns hold an important place in the collaborations I undertake, they are always part of a broader artistic reflection. Above all, what matters to me is the quality of the works, the strength of the ideas, and the exchanges they inspire.“
