- When I was in London my fellow classmates would try to take the piss out of me by calling me Shanaynay - What were you studying?

Founded by Romain Chenais and Jason Hwang, Shanaynay was, as Sabrina Tarasoff, curator and part of the current team says, "a response to the lack of independent exhibition spaces in the city. To be a bit dramatic, it was the transformative experience that turned into the idea of opening Shanaynay". Shanaynay is an artist-run space, a phrase that, symptomatically, has no French equivalent.
