Rethinking Eastern Europe
Mixed media installation, series of performances and workshops.
Our work as a collective is focused on challenging the homogenous notions of the region, reimagining its visual identity and reclaiming key cultural elements that have been used to categorise Eastern European art.
We create collaborative work, exhibit internationally, create public interventions, talks and workshops to galvanise the energy of the creative community from the former Eastern Bloc, challenge notions of Eastness and uncover stories from the region not normally heard on the Western stage.

Corner Man
a collaboration aiming to
explore the cultural value and impact
of corners using window psychology as a basis. In Eastern European culture, a corner sucks out negative energy, and is often a safe space. In traditional homes, the 'red' or 'beautiful' corner houses icons. How has this translated into modern day? Why do spaces with many corners often feel safe or inviting?
