bambi van balen is a non binary Dutch-Hungarian visual artist, raver, inflatable fetishist, activist, mushroom grower and founder of the artist group and foundation Tools for Action. With Tools for Action they hold open source skill-share workshops, create participatory performances and political interventions, often drawing on the dream-like and transformative qualities of inflatable objects; i.e. their monumental size, pop-up mobility, softness, playfulness and latent erotic appearance. Next to Tools for Action, they teach, curate or create liminal site-specific installations. Since 2020, they have been exploring dream work as a collective healing practice.
