In collaboration with the VU artscience laboratory and dancer Jordan Achiano, Iza Awad will present the first photosynthetic human. Using a lab-developed photosynthetic gel containing algae, people transform into air purifiers. This performance is part of Awad's latest work in which he uses the collaboration between art, science, identity and climate activism to question our status quo.

Furthermore, during Meet the Masters Awad will zoom in on the artistic work Power Plants (2019) by Hito Steyerl (currently on exhibition at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam) and relates this to his own work and research ‘Photosynthetic Human’.
