lost and found
tonya belugina is an independent cultural researcher, community-oriented curator and educator. Their projects are existing on the border of poetry, participatory practices, pedagogy and field-research. tonya works with emancipatory potential of imagination and curiosity: as if the world was the playground, where one can (un)learn or (re)invent new ways of friendship, love, tenderness, kindness, solidarity, agency, attention, responsibility — towards yourself, the world and others.
Multidisciplinary performance lost and found, curated by tonya, explores the world where everything is already existing: nature, history, culture, trash, words, traumas, events and memories. These are all accidental, but yet inevitable traces of life that are happening, evolving, transforming and disappearing without our participation.
In a small exhibition in Kadeboot at De Nijverheid, a strange little ship that was brought by waves to the shore, poetic exercises suggest visitors to learn how to find — or to lose; how to place themselves inside different narratives, mediums and practices of navigating through this process.
Maarten de Schutter screens the film My Sweet Child, which explores distortions of memories and (im)possibilities of connection with someone who was lost.
Joe Onestal presents a digital collage canvas, Onestalgo, that suggests playing collectively with images and its contexts through form, composition and poetics of accidentality.
Ksenia Kwiecińska hosts the workshop Home Again that explores the connection between uncatchable feelings of home and different options of re-opening it again in material forms, associations and found objects.
Egor Fedosov presents the mockumentary photo project They’re animals that tells the story of stray parrots in the Netherlands and explores hidden mechanisms of exclusion as politics of lost and found.
Ezekiel Djeribi Ó Stíofáin presents the installation to let the wind worm sing at different levels (or to let us listen to it) that puts listeners in a conversation with sounds, lost and found in the wind.
"From Richard Lerman’s work on wind harps I begin. Through the resonance of a long long string one may hear a tap, a whistle, or a hum. To hear what a long long flying worm would feel just beneath its scales, as it hovers right above the Nijverheidskade. All at different levels."
The installation to let the wind worm sing at different levels (or to let us listen to it) is placed outside of Kadeboot, in Kunstkade.
