Alex Ghandour

Born in 1997
Based in Basel

Alex Ghandour's work is a call to poetic action and a form of sensitive resistance, using art to create affect-laden dialogues and circulate forms of generosity, in a world marked by violence and division.

Personal and political issues are intertwined, linked to diasporic heritages and the resonances of a changing world.

Nurtured by a background in both the visual arts and cooking, her practice explores the transformation of materials and the body through ritualized gestures.

It opens up sensitive spaces, traversed by tensions, attachments and frictional memories, questioning cultural identities and relational dynamics.
