Gil Lekh<\/h3>\n\n

An artist-researcher, his work is rooted in his multiple experiences. From a family of migrants, he trained in alternative environments and worked as a construction laborer. From this background, he explores experiences by combining them with research. His practice explores the connections between memory, transmission, and the colonial continuum through a poetics of vulnerability\u2014understood as a force of relation, repair, and transformation. His preferred materials related to dwelling reflect an attention to gestures of repair and to the memory contained in these materials. Through sculpture, installation, publishing, and participatory formats, he opens spaces where buried memories can resurface, where historical fractures find recognition and continuity. His research combines art, humanities, and popular education, inviting us to rethink the commons in order to sketch out livable presents and desirable futures yet to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
