Košice Artist in Residence
The exhibition in the East Slovak Gallery, at Alžbetina 22, presents the results of a two-month residency of artists Đejmi Hadrović and Nežka Zamar, which were created as part of an international project called Hydra Pace. The project brings together artists from Palestine, Slovenia and Slovakia live and online, whose task is to analyze the current situation and think about our future concerning coexistence, communities, connection, and co-experience.
Within the Hydra PACE — Platform for Artistic Collaboration and Exchange, we cordially invite you to join an artist talk of Palestinian visual artist Mohammed Al Hawajri in conversation with the curators Husam Abusalem (Ramallah Municipality) and Petra Housková (KAIR Košice Artist in Residence). Al Hawajri will take us through the journey of his artistic practice by presenting a selection of artworks and their connected narrative to his life in the Gaza Strip, Palestine.
Creative Industry Košice & KAIR Košice Artists in Residence announce an open call for media artists from UNESCO Creative Cities. The deadline to apply for the residency is 20 August 2021.
I would like to encourage you to participate in this project by sharing something of your own choice. It can be a memory and something that a certain location triggered in your thoughts, an observation, a fiction. Participating in this project leaves you the option to communicate with the audience in the language of your choice.
We cordially invite you to the feminist fight club workshop by our resident Đejmi Hadrović which will take place in Šopa Gallery on the 13th of July between 16.00 – 20.00.
In the summer edition of Open Studios Night, you will be introduced to our two current residency artists – Đejmi Hadrović and Nežka Zamar from Slovenia, who are at our residence as part of the Hydra Pace project. During the evening, you will be able to get acquainted with their ongoing projects and also take part in the participatory project of Nežka Zamar, which aims to create an interactive audio map of the city.
