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.

Wesel

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
