Annotation
Together with visual artist Kasha Potrohosh, we will immerse ourselves in the process of mask-making. We will create an additional/new face, whether we currently need to hide for a moment or, on the contrary, reveal a long-hidden self to the world.
During the peak of the carnival celebrations, the workshop will also include a short presentation on Slovak carnival traditions. As is customary at a proper carnival festivity, there will also be feasting, so expect some light refreshments!
We will be working with nylon stockings, so if you have any old, unworn pairs lying around at home, bring them to tranzit on February 20 and give them a second life. However, we are prepared with our own supplies, so you don’t need to bring anything to the workshop. The event is open to the general public – no prior experience is required.
KASHA POTROHOSH
is a Ukrainian multimedia artist currently based in Bratislava and Ostrava. She experiments with various artistic media, from painting and performance to music. She often uses textiles as a medium for camouflage and as a tool to challenge established stereotypes. She works with various unconventional materials, often natural ones, and frequently uses her own body as a canvas.
DÍR KVÍR
is a fluid, evolving collective striving to create a safe, inclusive space for everyone, regardless of orientation, gender, ethnicity, class, or age.
This initiative arises from the need to connect and bring together students of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design across studios, departments, and years while also queering this environment.
ACCESSIBILITY
The event will last approximately 3 hours and will be conducted in Slovak. Entry and materials are free, but voluntary contributions are welcome. Feel free to meet your needs – if you need to stim, fidget, take a walk, use the restroom, or step outside for a moment, don’t hesitate. There are no stairs leading to the venue. A couch and folding chairs will be available for seating. The space includes a gender-neutral bathroom. The nearest tram stop is Úrad vlády SR. The nearest bus stop is Karpatská.
For any assistance, please feel free to reach out to the staff or organizers.
