Tragen von Vermächtnissen braucht auch Momente der Ruhe. Im Community Care Circle teilt Rhoda Davids Abel Wissen über Heiltraditionen ihrer Familie. Verbunden mit einem Ritual werden Momente des Innehaltens geteilt, die Fürsorge als gelebte Praxis erfahrbar machen.

Über die Mitwirkenden
Rhoda Davids Abel (RDA)
Between dreams and poetic chaos.
Incorporating installation, video, performance and fragmented geopoetics, RDA’s practice engages with the concept of dream mapping and decoding. Fragile explorations of memory artifacts being replanted in temporary vessels using everyday objects and gesture movements. Creating contemporary archives based on in-depth research into global interconnected histories tied to her ancestral roots in South Africa.
Rhoda Davids Abel completed her BA at the (HKB) Bern Academy for Fine Arts/Switzerland in 2021 and her MA Fine Arts at the Sandberg Institute/Gerrit Rietveld Academie/The Netherlands in 2023. She has exhibited in the Kunsthalle Bern, Rote Fabrik Zürich, Kunstmuseum Langenthal, Kunstmuseum Thun, Kunsthalle Palazzo, Read My World International Literature Festival in Amsterdam, Dreiviertel Bern, Stadt Galerie Bern among others. Additionally, she won the Swiss Performance Art Awards in 2022 (with Latefa Wiersch & Dandara Modesto) for the work ‘Neon Bush Girl Society’.
Her work ‘Rx True Form x Rooibos’ was recently acquired by the Kunstsammlung Kanton Bern. The photography work, ‘Silkies I, II & III’ was acquired by the Kunstsammlung Kultur Stadt Bern.
