Sajan Vazhakaparambil Kolavan Kalyanikutty Mani is an artist whose practice interrogates the intersections of performance, archives, and Dalit consciousness. A central theme in his work is the reverberation of ancestral voices, critically engaging with the weight of colonial history and its contemporary manifestations.
Elia Nurvista is an artist whose practice critically engages with food politics to examine power structures, social hierarchies, and economic inequalities. Through a diverse range of mediums—including workshops, study groups, publications, site-specific works, performances, video, and installations—she explores the social and political implications of food systems, addressing broader issues such as ecology, gender, class, and geopolitics.
Chaveli Sifre is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores healing traditions, the hierarchy of the senses, botany, and the belief systems that shape them. Through installations, sculptures, paintings, and participatory performances, she investigates the intersections of science, spirituality, ritual, and healing modalities, seeking to recover their long-lost connections.
Raul Walch is a visual artist whose practice is driven by political and ecological engagement. After studying Sculpture at Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee, he completed his studies in the class of Olafur Eliasson at UdK, Berlin, and was later a fellow at the Institut für Raumexperimente. His work often takes the form of sails, mobiles, kites, and flags, created through collaborative and performative processes.

To dance in the blindspot is neither to be concealed nor to be rendered visible, but to exist in the crevice where vision breaks down. The blindspot is this stubborn absence from the field of vision, the point at which the eye, in its arrogance, believes it perceives all and yet cannot detect the crack in its own retina. Here, in this emptiness, another choreography takes place: fugitive, porous, alive. What does it mean to choreograph out of nowhere, to perform invisibility, to summon presences that seemingly vanish?The Fellows inhabiting the house this year - Sajan Mani, Elia Nurvista, Chaveli Sifre, and Raul Walch, together with guest artists Robert Lippok, Radio Papesse, Luigi Presicce, Alex Martinis Roe, Justin Randolph Thompson, and Suraj Yengde - do not attempt to counter the blindspot or re-envision it, but to demand another way of relation. Through desertion, psychofeminist sensing strategies, invocation and presence.
