Out and About – Iliada Charalambous

What have you been doing in the last year?
“When the pandemic started, one of my first responses was to start my own little garden on my rooftop. This led me to bring the soil to my studio as a material to build sculptures with. I have been working on sculptures in the form of chairs to facilitate conversations for a while now. Gardening during the lockdown gave a new direction to this research.”

What do you present today?
“Here I present ‘What Could We Be?’. It is a temporary monument of the here and now. An attempt to set up a citizen assembly which builds, at least temporarily, a network and a public, communal space. Here, the people can engage in dialogues around the subjects that concern the neighborhood.”
