About the artists
Semâ Bekirović studied at the Rietveld Academy and completed a residency at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. In her work, she draws inspiration from biology, philosophy, and science. She is interested in concepts such as the (apparent) separation between nature and culture, various natural phenomena and processes, and ways in which humans, animals, plants, and other objects function as systems within a network. Her work has been exhibited at De Appel (Amsterdam), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), Hayward Gallery Project Space (London), Dutch Culture Institute (Shanghai), and in Times Square (NYC). Earlier this year, she developed the exhibition Reading by Osmosis for Zone2Source (Amsterdam).

Jan-Pieter Karper is a graphic designer and screen printer. He mainly works for and with artists, photographers, and galleries. His work focuses on tactility and the use of color. He wears glasses.

Co-curator: Zone2Source
Zone2Source is an exhibition platform that develops projects exploring alternative representations of the relationship between humans, nature, and technology. In exhibitions, workshops, expeditions, and discussions, they explore with the audience new representations around nature-culture relationships. Additionally, they develop long-term artistic research projects with various partners such as Machine Wilderness (on robotics and nature in collaboration with FoAM and Artis), Exploded View (on urban landscapes in collaboration with Clue+/Vrije Universiteit), and Land (Art) Making (a platform for land practices in collaboration with Land Art Contemporary). Initiator and artistic director Alice Smits is also involved as a researcher into contemporary art practices and anthropocene theory at the Lectorate Art and Public Space/Rietveld Academy.

Possible Futures – Imagining Radical Assemblies - 
With Imagining Radical Assemblies, Zone2Source explores what a more inclusive society might look like in the future, where not the human but life takes center stage. For centuries, we in the West have seen ourselves as the only players with nature as a backdrop for our actions. Now that nature is pushing itself into the spotlight, it becomes clear that it also shapes our existence. How can we begin to see ourselves as intrinsically entangled with everything around us? What senses do we need for that, and what do we learn from non-human knowledge? How does that change our self-image? What if we think not from appropriation but from co-living and co-authorship? And what new values, institutions, and ethics accompany that, as we give non-human beings and things real agency? Art is particularly well-suited for experimenting with new ways of experiencing and being, prompted by the ecological crisis we find ourselves in. Zone2Source invites three artists they have been working with or discussing with for a while to realize projects for ITGWO in which the coexistence of humans, animals, plants, and the earth is imagined together with the audience.
