Lin May Saeed Solo Exhibition at Kunsthalle Bern: What to See and Expect
Art enthusiasts planning their cultural outings can look forward to a significant presentation of work by the late German-Iraqi artist and animal rights activist Lin May Saeed (1973–2023). Hosted at the Kunsthalle Bern in Switzerland from 6 March through 10 May 2026, this solo exhibition highlights a distinctive artistic practice centered on the coexistence between humans and animals.
Exploring Lin May Saeed’s Sculptural Vision
Saeed’s body of work addresses complex relationships between different species, weaving together mythological, religious, and activist themes. Working primarily with accessible materials like expanded polystyrene, she crafted sculptures and visual narratives that propose a compassionate reimagining of interspecies dynamics. Her creations frame liberation and reconciliation as both sculptural and social acts.
Following her passing in 2023, her work has gained international posthumous attention through solo presentations at prominent venues, including the Georg Kolbe Museum in Berlin, GAMeC in Bergamo, Sapieha Palace in Vilnius, and Buitenplaats Kasteel Wijlre. Her pieces have also featured in major recurring events such as Manifesta 15 and the Berlin Biennale, alongside institutional collections like the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the National Museum of Art in Oslo.
