Through the lens of her artistic practice, we’ll delve into the transformative power of fermentation as both a biological process and a metaphor for political and social change.
Bamieh invites us to discover how decay and renewal, preservation and subversion, come together to create installations that provoke thought, challenge systems, and inspire dialogue.
The event is part of the programme ‘Institution(ing)s: planetary plotting (with) art institutions’. This is the first public moment of ‘Institution(ing)s’, a consortium of European arts organisations coming together to co-create and test innovative institutional models towards a healthier and fairer artistic ecosystem.
The ‘Institution(ing)s’ is co-funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or Creative Europe. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.
