Join us to explore belonging, shifting, cultural inheritance and the spaces between them at our exhibition and publication launch!
Come along to this exhibition in collaboration with and hosted at HAPAX Living Room bringing together the work of 11 artists: Alexandra Baker, Arti Siudem, Diana Serban, Grupa Lono, Ksenia Kazintseva, Laura Bivolaru, Magda Kuca, Marcelina Amelia, Paulina Korobkiewicz, Vera Hadzhiyska and Zula Rabikowska.
This is a celebration of the work of Rethinking Eastern Europe collective in it's third year and launch of its first curated open call publication with a presentation of all the artists who entered.
Started by visual artist and curator Zula Rabikowska, Rethinking Eastern Europe collective explores this diverse and non-homogenous region, as well as the experience of and complexities behind migration, home and multicultural identity. Featuring multi-disciplinary work by some of the collective's members, in this exhibition we question how our upbringing shapes our worldview.
The takeover also marks two years of Rethinking Eastern Europe and the launch of our first open-call publication, featuring 49 artists on what Eastern European identity looks and feels like right now. Alongside it, we’ll be showing a slideshow of every artist who submitted to the open call, so everyone who took part has a place in the room.
