Laura Beaubrun

Laura Beaubrun is a Haitian dancer, choreographer, art therapist and artist working in the field of education, based in Switzerland. Her practice is shaped by Haitian Lakou culture, dance, voice, rhythm, community and spiritual bodywork. With the Compagnie Adjae, she develops workshops, performances and socio-cultural projects that combine body awareness, cultural heritage and shared experience.

In the E19 exhibition, Laura Beaubrun brings a performative and body-centred perspective. Her practice combines dance, song, ritual, pedagogy and the healing dimensions of the body, enriching the group exhibition with a vibrant, movement-based contribution.

Lis Blunier

Lis Blunier is a Swiss artist born in Bern. She studied sculpture at the Alanus University of Arts and Social Sciences and worked as a freelance artist in Berlin from 1990 to 2019. She is known, amongst other things, for her mural *Hier und Dort* at the East Side Gallery. She now lives in Switzerland and works in multimedia formats ranging from drawing and installation to performance and spatial experience.

Lis Blunier is once again taking part in an E19 group exhibition. The artist token, which was created back in 2022, is being reused.

Aurelie Jossen

Aurelie Jossen is an artist whose documented works incorporate wood, ink, objects, drawing and installation. Her website showcases minimalist, material-focused groups of works such as ‘coussins d’herbes’ and ‘pli de mer’, in which organic forms, surfaces and delicate spatial arrangements come to the fore.

In the E19 exhibition, Aurelie Jossen presents a material- and object-based body of work. Her pieces range from drawings to carved wood and installation-based gestures, creating subtle, focused marks within the space.

Lara Manzini

Lara Manzini is an artist who works in painting, drawing and installation. Her website features vibrantly coloured acrylic paintings and drawings with titles such as *Mediterranean Spleen*, *The Blue Tree*, *Mourning*, *Oblivion* and *Souls in Balance*. Her visual language combines figures, landscapes, psychological spaces and symbolic colour schemes.

In the E19 exhibition, Lara Manzini presents a painterly and draughtsman-like approach that combines interior spaces, depictions of the body and expressive fields of colour. Her works engage with memory, transformation and the emotional landscape.
