The exhibition Body is a Stream gathers together the work of SÍM Residency’s October artists-in-residence, who present art as a living current, a moment in flow rather than a fixed arrival. Each project unfolds as a form of embodied research, an ongoing inquiry into how we move through land, sound, memory, and each other. The “body,” here, is both a vessel and a landscape: porous, shifting, and interconnected. The “stream” gestures toward time, ecology, and imagination, a reminder that creation, like water, does not stand still.

From the biological to the emotional, the sonic to the sculptural, the participating artists trace how inner and outer worlds converge. Together, their works form an ecosystem of gestures listening, touching, resonating that extends from the environment into the self, and from the individual into the collective.

Body is a Stream reflects on the ways in which artistic practice itself is a form of movement a flowing through ideas, places, and identities. The exhibition becomes a temporary confluence where individual investigations merge into collective experience, where each artist’s current feeds into a shared estuary of becoming.
