Passion, the tension between longing and creation, is the driving force behind Takeover’s booth. Three artists explore fragmented landscapes of memory, displacement and belonging. Through organic hybrids, (un)inhabited rooms and sensory traces, the artists reflect on geographies, representation and time, confronting loss and reconciliation with a fervent desire to connect the personal and the collective. Mayssa Khoury, a painter and photographer revealing vulnerability in liminal spaces through a series of drawings; Ieva Saudargaitė Douaihi, a multidisciplinary artist integrating photography, found objects and materials into intricate expressions of identity; and Petra Serhal, an artist and choreographer working with exiled Palestinians’ olfactory memories to map ‘a way home’.
