Two works created within the framework of the Fellowship will be shown in Berlin and Vienna

On September 17-18, Anna Shevchenko will present “the space of (not) free expression” in Berlin at the IMPORT/EXPORT festival.

The 3 day performance, dedicated to the theme of freedom of expression, its transformation, and fluidity, invites the audience to come together in a shared space where dialogue is made possible through handwritten texts. The artist invites visitors to write texts and stick them on the walls in the first days. On the 2nd day, she assembles and connects them. The work is finalized in the form of a live reading performance.
