Clémence Vazard

Multidisciplinary artist

Being selected by Villa Swagatam to work with Brihatta Art Foundation is an honor in the context of climate urgency. The Ganges-Brahmaputra delta, facing 1.40m sea level rise by 2100, represents a critical laboratory for rethinking water relationships. Through 'Rivers' Threads,' we'll develop cultural adaptation methodology for deltaic populations worldwide, creating bridges between ancestral knowledge and climate adaptation while accompanying frontline communities as environmental upheavals reshape their territories

Clémence Vazard is a French transdisciplinary artist exploring invisible connections between living beings and environment through collaborative research-creation methodology.

Distinguished graduate of Central Saint Martins' MA Art & Science (London), she has exhibited internationally and developed monumental participatory projects like "Palabras del Amazonas" in Ecuador (300 participants).

Recipient of the ADAGP Research Fund for "La Parole de l'Eau" (2023), she has been in residency in Ecuadorian Amazon, Morocco, and LUMA Ateliers (Arles). Her recent work uses natural dyeing to reveal relationships between humans, waters, and plants within a collaborative ecology framework.
