𝟭 | Matea Bakula. The core of her sculptural work is making material transformations visible and tangible. Through experiments, she investigates the properties of materials to reveal their hidden aspects and bend them to her will. She discovers how to remove the material from its original context and transform it so that it gains new meaning while remaining true to its raw form.

𝟯 | Susanna Inglada’s work explores themes of power relations, authority, corruption, complicity, and gender inequality, drawing inspiration from the surrounding CAT and ES culture, history, and politics. The artist's installations and drawings unfold as chapters in a narrative where these topics are presented through the depiction of pressed, struggling bodies. The scenes, reminiscent of theatrical sets, invite the viewer to step into the action, becoming one of the characters.

𝟱 | Anna Reutinger works with second hand textiles and glass, natural dyes, scrap metal, agricultural byproducts, social encounters and histories of the non-elite. She enacts a hands-on approach to research. From large-scale installations to performative workshops and film, she traces connections between textile craft and social disobedience, the time-scales of materials and bodies, and what traces can be left and gleaned from those on the periphery of historical record.
