About Faisel Saro
He studied at Academie Minerva in Groningen (2013) and developed a practice centered on black-and-white line work, social sculpture, and psychogeographic installations, in which historical layers, the body, and spiritual traditions from the Winti religion converge. His work Keloid is part of the permanent collection of the Groninger Museum. In 2023, he created Genius Loci, an 11-by-30-meter installation for the Noorderzon Festival in Groningen. His involvement in What Knots Knot Knots is primarily connected to the finissage; his position within the publication is yet to be determined.
