Lang Ea, B#Side the River Festival
Various locations around Isontino and Bassa Friulana, Italy
11 June —
31 July 2022
This year the B#Side the River Contemporary Art Festival takes place in June and July, within the Isontino and Bassa Friulana areas in Italy, and features ten international artists, including Cambodia/New Zealand artist Lang Ea. The festival aims to rediscover and enhance the historical role of the Isonzo and its territories with particular attention to the involvement of local communities, inviting the artists to be the engine for shared ethnographic research, collective archive research, visits to historical places, sensory and sound walks and public performances.
Lang Ea is a multidisciplinary artist who questions and explores the personal but universal challenges of war and its traumas. Her works are a collection of emotionally complex narratives fueled by the persistent resonance of historical trauma, in which the weight of the subconscious memory mixes with the elements of instability of our contemporary age, defining a vision, offering a perceptive revelation and inviting contemplation.
