Salomeya Bauer is an artist and activist from Georgia. In the early 90s she and her family had to emigrate due to the difficult political and socio-economic situation following in the country. In 2014, after graduation from VGIK she returned to Tbilisi and fully devoted herself to art as a documentation of reality. She is a painter, filmmaker, and performance artist. Through observation and research, Salomeya’s primary focus is on comprehending borderline states of mind, mental crisis, and transformation. The basis of her creative method is documenting and analyzing the fluctuations of subjective reality and personal experience, woven into a historical spiral through painting and filmmaking. Salomeya’s art pieces explore the opposition of human and society in the context of separatism, integration, and the search for self-identification. She participated in various residencies, festivals, and exhibitions, such as the 66th Cannes Film Festival; the Transcultural Art Lab 2018, funded by the Erasmus+ program, Juist, Germany; Imagine/Caucasus Edition Summer School, Georgia 2022; Tbilisi Art Fair 2024, etc. She is a Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) member, and her artwork was featured in their 2024 feminist calendar. For the Global Feminist Pitch 2023 of the Heinrich Boell Foundation’s Global Unit for Feminism and Gender Democracy, Salomeya created a graphic novel on women in social processes in 90s in Georgia.
