Chaveli Sifre, artist

The Art of Social Change

For our 29th episode, Alix had a conversation with Chaveli Sifre while visiting La Embajada’s booth in Liste, a fair in Switzerland dedicated to international, independent galleries and spaces. In her gallery's booth, Chaveli was conducting an experiment. Sitting in a corner, looking over a glass contraption, she distilled an odd mixture of water, money given to her or found in wishing wells, and locally sourced "healing alpine plants". Through this performance, Sifre explored the reduction of bodies to capital and means to reverse this process. Listen to the full episode to find out more about this serendipitous encounter.
