As the Art Senses 2026 Mentorship Programme unfolds, mentee Karola Braga takes us behind the scenes of her winning project, Bloom of the Night. Documenting the various stages of its development, she offers an inside look at the creative process, from early concepts to ongoing progress. In the first installment of this video series, Braga delves into the inspiration and research informing her scent-based artwork, and reflects on the ideas and questions that sparked its creation.
Project by Therme Art
Art Senses is created by Therme Art, an international cultural initiative advancing Therme Group’s mission to promote wellbeing. In close collaboration with Therme Group, whose expertise in innovative environments and wellbeing infrastructures informs the programme’s vision, Therme Art supports and develops artistic and cultural experiences that generate positive social impact.
In addition to funding, mentorship, visibility, technical resources and support, Therme Art offers the possibility for projects developed within Art Senses to be realised permanently at Therme Group’s facilities worldwide, extending the artistic dialogue from the studio and exhibition context into lived, public environments that embody the programme’s curatorial aims.
