“In addition to her professional approach and intense devotion to her work, Affortunati has a real ability to interact with others and gather people around a common goal. Her ability to spark interest in contemporary art in the community was equally impressive – and in coherence with her art approach and practice, which are intrinsically linked to forming relationships.; her work reasserted the importance of art as a place for encounter, a relational link, and a social canvas (...) Her drive, personality, artistic concerns, skills, and research interests should be encouraged.”
