Advancement Award Winners 2017/18

Artists:

Feministische Gesundheitsrecherchegruppe and Vangjush Vellahu

The Feminist Health Care Research Group (Julia Bonn, Alice Münch, and Inga Zimprich) addresses alternative and collective approaches to health care, in which one’s personal experience and own perceptions play a role.

Vangjush Vellahu will further pursue his on-going project Fragments. The artist focuses in Fragments on facets of collective memory such as inscribe themselves in the architecture and landscapes of de facto existing states that nonetheless are frequently not recognized as such.
