Havîn Al-Sîndy

Havîn Al-Sîndy works in Kurdistan and Germany. Her artistic practice moves between performance, sculpture, painting, and moving images. At its core lies the relationship between visibility and invisibility – and the ambivalences that arise in the act of making visible. Intangible archives such as memories, body knowledge, cellular memory, and collective remembrance form the core of her work – fragile, contradictory, yet powerful forms of knowledge. She explores how these are transmitted, overwritten, or suppressed – and how they inscribe themselves in the body. Her approach is process-based and collaborative, often developed in intergenerational exchange with young people. The aim is to make silenced perspectives audible and visible – not as representation, but as part of a shared practice. Materials such as earth, clay, or paper signify not only origin, but also a form of knowledge that exists beyond traditional archives. She is currently a professor at the University of Fine Arts Braunschweig.

Unna

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Zeichnung, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.
