Juri Velt moves between rural regions and cities, as well as between a writing- and a material-based practice. Trained as an architect and navigating life as a chronically ill person, their works deal with the question of “how to live together”— with a focus on companionship and other forms of resistance. Their recent works connect these interests to the climate crisis, the landscape(s) of thought and matter we find ourselves in, and the language(s) we have available to navigate the present.
