A meeting of cities, a meeting of minds and an opportunity for transformation, Gallery Lock In has been regenerated into an audio-visual portal by Libyan artist Tewa Barnosa for this year’s Dreamy Place Festival.
Based between troubled Tripoli and apolitical Amsterdam, Barnosa’s first UK solo exhibition will take audiences on a journey through the meaning of language, from translation to misinformation, shared heritage, and the constructed political situations that drive us apart.
This is part of an ongoing project exploring the collaborative processes between international artists and curators working to discover what we can achieve when we are not sharing the same physical space. Without travel and with low environmental impact, we will use ideas to build bridges between us.
Tewa Barnosa (b.1998) is a trans-disciplinary artist and cultural producer. Her artistic practice spans visual arts, time-based media, and curatorial collaborations; her body of work consists of audio-visual installations, text, performance, expanded paintings and objects that she uses to investigate taboos and territories on the margins. Grounded in critical curiosity, research-based knowledge, re-interpretation and re-production(s), she finds inspiration in historical and political contradiction, contemporary polarities, and the transitional “in-between” present in physical, psychological and public spaces.
