Kunsthall Stavanger is proud to present a solo exhibition by Balinese artist Citra Sasmita. This extensive exhibition will be Sasmita's first presentation in the Nordic region.
The exhibition is composed of new, site-specific works, several of which have been developed in collaboration with local artisans in Bali. The content and methods of Sasmita's artistic practice are deeply rooted in collectivity. Here art becomes a meeting point for memory, the body, nature, and spirituality.
In this exhibition, Sasmita presents painting, textile works and sculpture. She confronts the postcolonial legacy of Bali, re-authoring her own history and artistic tradition from a matriarchal perspective. Visitors are invited into a multisensory experience, where the sensorial encounter encourages deeper introspection. Nature and the cosmos take centre stage as an integral part of who we are and how we move through life.
