Kukulida invites everyone to a workshop guided by Artiom Zavadovsky and Cătălina Bucos a.k.a. Miss Verständnis and Günther Ding Dong, who will create and hold space for artistic investigations of the political. Participants are invited and encouraged to explore their own conditions, sociopolitical realities, environments, gather their anger, pain and frustrations, and cook them into (in)visible and (non)silent radical artistic expressions by using public space as a starting point.
The number of participants is limited. Participation is donation based. Please register by 23.7 by sending a message with a subject line “Workshop” to info@kukulida.de.
BIO:
Artiom Zavadovsky is documentary practitioner, born in the USSR and raised in the Republic of Moldova, who is currently studying at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. Artiom works interdisciplinary with performance, documentary theatre, filmmaking, video art and drag. Interests of their artistic practice include social, political and economic realities of the marginalised, radical queering as resistance, and personal memories as an activation tool for collective consciousness. Artiom is a member of the independent queer feminist theatre collective teatru-spălătorie from Chișinău.
Cătălina Bucos is a multimedia artist, born and raised in the Republic of Moldova, who is currently studying at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. Experiencing Moldova’s brutal transition from socialism to capitalism, as well as the grim realities of Germany, has naturally radicalised her. Cătălina’s practice is deeply personal and mostly a survival skill. In her works she summons the sirens, weirdos, vampires, the uncivilised, the unseen, inhumans – those who misbehave and resist to amplify their truly radical voices. She actualises crumbling red memories and creates complex, compassionate and joyful worlds – the worlds that some day will crawl out of the shadows.
