“Bodies of Things” is a multidisciplinary installation show inspired by the participatory workshop “The things we carry: Mapping bodies, mapping spaces” . It blends the artist’s auto ethnographic exploration with the creative outputs generated by workshop participants. The exhibition will run after the workshops from the 15th-30th November, with a chance to meet the artist on the 15th November 6pm-9pm.
Raisa is a researcher, curator, and transdisciplinary artist from Athens, Greece, currently living between London and Berlin. Her creative research, but also curatorial work, tends to centre around ideas of place, belonging, nostalgia, dislocation and the exploration of those through material culture with particular interests in object-centred research, and embodiment. She has curated & participated in several shows internationally, and she is the founder of ASTRO, a creative archive and research collective whose work is centred around and is focused on exploring the concept of home.
