About - Dunia Sahir
Dunia Sahir graduated at the University of Chemistry and Chemical Technology in Ljubljana (SI) with a BSc in Chemistry and
alongside their studies of Art&Science at Angewandte is finishing a MSc in Biochemistry at the same university. A project
at the Department of Structural and Computational Biology at the Max Perutz Labs is what led them to Vienna in the first place.
Switching between hanging out with bacteria, crystals and proteins and sculpting in the ceramic studio, a white coat is a
constant in their life. A search for and commitment to practices of care shapes their artistic work, which often focuses on
movement, touch and perception through performance and sculpture.
