Juno Wela
I write, curate, and conceptualize. My interest lies on the intersection between art and health. With a M.A. in Global Art History, my work is grounded in theories of intersectional feminism and disability studies. My artistic projects range from conceptual body art to exhibitions surrounding health activism.

EXHIBITION - “Behind Your Mask” - October 22

The exhibition “Behind Your Mask” dared to explore the many facets of our everyday faces – and what remains hidden benath them. The vernissage called attention to the metaphorical masks we wear on a daily basis, in an attempt to mirror societal norms. The participatory program at Kraftwerk Zürich was accompanied by performances of the dance group Les Papillons and a panel discussion on the topic of “Mental Health Behind The Mask” with members from the Madnesst collective.
