One of Switzerland’s most prominent contemporary artists, Renée Levi has opened two exhibitions and made a public art installation in September 2022, in Istanbul. Levi was born in Istanbul in 1960 and moved to Switzerland when she was 6. To her, this city has come to mean her childhood and the homeland of her parents. Especially in the last decade Levi proved prolific with her institutional exhibitions in France, Germany and Italy, and she was particularly praised for her exceptional public art projects in Switzerland. All throughout her oeuvre, Levi has come to emphasise her city of birth and her Sephardic heritage. One of the rare leading woman figures in abstract expressionism, she is also known for her way of naming each and every one of her works after a woman’s name.

Ramang is a legend with a story that never ends. But behind a number of myths about him, his love for football should always be admired. The public gasped when FIFA commemorated the 25th anniversary of Ramang's death with a special article on their website.

We barely have long documentaries about sports legends from this country. Because of that, Indonesia Sinema Persada have the courage to start it. And hopefully this initiative will give birth to other initiatives so that we have a special record of figures who have contributed to the world of sports in Indonesia.

Shot on a 1960’s hand-wound analogue camera, Wind, Tide & Oar fosters a dialogue between sailor, boat, and the elements, which addresses themes of ecology, sustainability, heritage, traditional skills, and maritime history, whilst journeying through the rivers, coastlines, and open seas of the UK, Netherlands, and France.
