[Jessie Croteau]

Join the Ecological Design Collective (EDC) for a conversation with artist Asad Raza on his life and artistic career with a special focus on his upcoming project for Manifesta 15 Barcelona (opening the 8th of September to the 24th of November 2024). Manifesta is a “European Nomadic Biennial” which moves from city to city promoting positive social and ecological change. This year’s themes include: Balancing Conflicts, Cure and Care and Imagining Futures.

This event will take place virtually on the EDC platform on Thursday, September 12th starting at 12pm. Click here to join! Make sure to log in with your EDC account to access the meeting, or enter the password (472401) if prompted for it.

Asad Raza creates dialogues and rejects disciplinary boundaries in his work, which conceives of art as a metabolic, active encounter within and beyond the exhibition setting. Raza’s practice often takes planetary ecologies as a focus, with a strong emphasis on the participatory and the performative aspects of art, as well as an engagement with all of the senses. His projects have been realized by institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Kaldor Public Art Projects, Sydney; Gropius Bau, Berlin; Serpentine Galleries, London; Kunsthalle Portikus, Frankfurt; Ruhrtriennale, Essen; the Lahore Biennale; Museion, Bolzano; and Mori Art Museum, Tokyo.

Moderator: Dr. Kristine Roome PhD., cultural anthropologist & host of the Eco-Arts forum
