In close cooperation with
Gabriel Rossell Santillán
Gabriel Rossell Santillán lives and works in Berlin and Mexico. From 2006 to 2008 he was a master student at the Berlin University of the Arts with Prof. Lothar Baumgarten. In his photographs, videos, objects, and installations, the artist, born in Mexico City in 1977, explores the transformation of cultural knowledge. Gabriel Rossell Santillán lives half the year with the indigenous Wixárika community in northeastern Mexico. In the project conceived for the Triennial, he uncovers buried knowledge from a time when the Pacific was considered the center of the earth.Photo: Sebastian Maiwind
Antje Majewski
Antje Majewski, born in Marl, Germany, in 1968, lives and works in Berlin and is professor of painting at the Muthesius Kunsthochschule, Kiel. By means of painting, video, texts and performances she deals with anthropological and philosophical questions. Her recent work focuses on the interrogation of objects, territories, and plants, as well as on the exploration of alternative knowledge systems, storytelling, and the possibility of transformative processes. She is particularly interested in cultural as well as geobotanical migration. Majewski often collaborates with other artists as well as ecological and urban groups. In the framework of the Triennial another collaborative project will be realized, in which the forest as a protected, sacred space plays a central role.Foto: Jens Ziehe
Memory Biwa
Memory Biwa is a historian, and artist. Her research focuses on the history of anti-colonial resistance and genocide in southern Namibia, and Northern Cape, South Africa. Biwa’s research on oral narratives and performance informs notions of subjectivity and the re-centering of alternative epistemologies and imaginaries. Her work addresses transnational memorial and reparative processes, which encompasses a wider discourse on postcolonial restitution and reparations. Biwa is currently a fellow of the DAAD Artists in Berlin Program, and works on projects with Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence, University of Bayreuth, and the Repatriates Project at the Central European University, Vienna, Austria.Foto: Niklas Zimmer
