Join us on January 26 at Scala in St. Moritz for a satellite event following the main E.A.T. event in Zuoz. This event continues E.A.T.’s exploration of 'Form & Impact', examining how art shapes meaningful engagement and societal impact.
This session opens with Hans Ulrich Obrist (E.A.T. curator) and artist Uman, whose richly textured work channels her experiences across cultures — from Somalia to Kenya, Denmark, and the U.S. — and combines memory with vibrant, layered compositions. Uman's paintings, informed by East African landscapes and traditional calligraphy, reveal a fluid interplay of abstraction and figuration that reflects both physical and spiritual journeys.
Furthermore, Cristina Bechtler (E.A.T. founder) will speak with Hans Ulrich Obrist about his latest book, 'Ein Leben in progress'.
In a conversation exploring the connections between art, energy, and sustainability, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Maja Hoffmann (Founder & President of LUMA Foundation) will introduce the LUMA Foundation’s upcoming edition, 'Elevation 1049: Energies', and its links to the LUMA programme in Arles and Swiss Institute New York.
The session concludes with a discussion between Maja Hoffmann, Stefanie Hessler (Director of Swiss Institute New York and curator of 'Elevation 1049: Energies'), Vassilis Oikonomopoulos (Artistic Director of LUMA Arles), Theaster Gates (artist) and Nina Canell (artist).
This satellite event is open to all ticket holders of the main program.
