We are delighted to present this collaboration between space25 and Atelier Mondial: Seedlings of Time brings together five positions by artists who travelled the world with Atelier Mondial for several months, with these residencies leaving questions and traces in their works – like seeds that suddenly begin to sprout.

During her stay in Kinshasa, Daniela Brugger has embarked on a new phase of her artistic research, which deals with the often invisible and non-binary aspects of digital technologies. Her interest lies in (infra)structures and the materiality of digital systems, including their (colonial) history. Leonardo Bürgi Tenorio explored the cultural landscape surrounding rice fields and a type of mould (kōji) found there in Japan in order to reflect on the connection between culture and nature. During a stay in Bali, Sara Gassmann discovered her fascination with shadow puppets and explored light and shadow in her work, both in terms of content and visually. she learned the technique of shadow play and, in dialogue with sound artist Janiv Oron, translated it into her own language. Yota Tsotra's painting, on the other hand, explores the theme of innocence as a form of resistance – as an ability to survive in a constantly changing world. Her works remind us that pausing, marvelling and connecting with nature are ways to find inner strength. Finally, Helena Uambembe from South Africa is currently spending three months in Basel – her video installation explores how closely connected worlds, both small and large, can suddenly drift apart.

They cross borders, leaving the familiar behind and setting off to discover new places to call home for a while. Artists generally steer clear of preconceived notions, preferring novel works and ways of thinking about the future—often despite their fears and doubts. Their works allow sounds, light and heat to flow from one space to another, turning walls into membranes.

Accordingly, this year’s editionof Regionale will span the upper floor at Kunsthaus Baselland, along with the neighboring TransBona-Halle, and the exhibition space at Atelier Mondial, which curated and produced the exhibition jointly with Kunsthaus Baselland.

Don't want to spend ages thinking about what to get your loved ones for Christmas this year? Then I have a delicious idea for you: Cuisine Mondiale!

An artistic cookbook with 30 absolutely unique recipes from 22 countries (including Armenia, South Africa, Sahara, Ghana, Mexico, Bali, Georgia, Iran, and more). Your wanderlust will grow with every page and every delicacy...

Each recipe is accompanied by a work of art, and the artist tells a personal story about each recipe, allowing you to learn a lot about our global world along the way. Cuisine Mondiale offers an exciting journey of discovery into the world of cuisine, beautifully designed by graphic designer Nadine Bitterli.

The book is written in German and English.
