MILÉNA DESSE

Milena Desse is a French artist based in Brussels. She works in various formats and mediums, such as media-installations, performance, writing, and film. Her artistic research and practice focus on forms of disappearance and revelation, of memorising and forgetting, and on their resonance with storytelling and transmission: looking closer at transformation of stories through time and generations. Her work has been shown internationally in FID (Marseille, France), Qattan Foundation (Ramallah, Palestine), GPP (Dubai, United Arab Emirates), Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center (Ramallah, Palestine), Khiasma (Paris, France), ARGOS center for art and media (Brussels, Belgium), Kaaistudios (Brussels), KHM Gallery (Malmö, Sweden), Kunstbiograf at Artoteket (Copenhagen, Denmark), and Netwerk centrum voor hedendaagse kunst (Alost, Belgium). Milena Desse is a founding member of Greyzone Zebra, a collective of artists and researchers working on colonial home movies, and a member of ARG (animation research group), an artists collective working on the implementation of methodologies and protocols around expanded animation.
