During the residency, it is expected that the artist is involved in the planning and curating of a one day art festival organized by QUESTION ME & ANSWER at the hotel Superbude on September 28th, 2024. No prior experience of curating is expected, just an openness to learn new things and get a glimpse into the art scene of another city.

What did you feel today?

Curator: Valeriia Lysenko
During these overwhelming times of unstable economic and political situations, wars, and climate change, most of us feel constant mental pressure every day. To cope with stress and anxiety, therapists suggest returning your mind to a concrete moment by concentrating on human senses like sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. This exhibition aims to speak to the feelings and senses of visitors. Through sound, performance, and visual installation, it offers a multi-sensory experience and invites to concentrate on what is happening right now in this room, to be present and open to this Experience. For one day, it offers a space to escape your regular circle of thoughts and come to slow down and explore. More information here.
