VASUDHA KAPADIA is one of the selected artists participating in the Peer-to-Peer programme as part of the Here ! Am project.

Congratulations! 💥


Vasudha Kapadia is an Indian visual artist, living between India and Switzerland. She works across various mediums in drawing, painting, text and research. Her work employs slow processes of drawing to work through personal experiences and social conditions; and the anxieties, observations and desires that emerge therefrom. Conceptually, she excavates and historicizes the invisibilised, decaying and discarded material. In her work, these are placed in a theatrical light, to draw attention to systems that govern memory and identity, and their oppression and control.

Congratulations! 💥


Olga Torrado is a visual artist born in Lanzarote. Her work explores form, symbol, and repetition through large-scale textile and graphic compositions. Influenced by the volcanic landscapes of her origin, she develops a visual language that is both austere and organic, where the gestural and the structural coexist. After several years in Madrid, where she consolidated her practice, she recently moved to Switzerland, opening a new phase of research and production. Olga Olga
