Filleul has been an assistant/curator for Établissement d’en face (2021-2023) and Duflon/Racz (2018, 2020, 2021) in Brussels. Her recent exhibitions have taken place in various venues, including off-spaces (a duo exhibition with Gaia Vincensini at Mayday, Basel, 2024), private galleries (a group exhibition at Air de Paris, Paris, 2023), and public institutions (a group exhibition at Z33, Hasselt, 2023). Mona Filleul is represented by the Air de Paris gallery, Romainville (FR).
Air de Tranny is a composite project that is solo, collective, and curatorial at the same time. Structured around a rigorous scenography using exposed metal stud structures, the exhibition invites several Tr@N$Fem artists to intervene directly within the space.
The exhibition has received support from CNAP and the Swiss Foundation for Culture Prohelvetia.
