We bring you photos from yesterday’s conversation between Iza Tarasewicz (PL) and Leonida Kovač (HR): AFAR TALK: “your type of unity”: Art practice as a way to hold yourself up, as part of the European project AFAR, which aims to improve the mobility of contemporary visual artists and curators, thereby creating greater opportunities for women in art. The project takes place in four European partner countries – Romania, Germany, Croatia, and Austria. The conversation was held in collaboration with the discursive program of the doctoral studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb.

In conversation with Leonida Kovač, Iza presented her artistic journey, some of the ideas she seeks to convey through her works, as well as her experiences. The discussion covered the position of women in art, particularly in the medium of sculpture, heritage, tradition, and the context in which the works are created.

“I read somewhere in Bacon’s “every researcher of nature is caused to disbelieve what his mind most delights and attracts”… and this reflects my main journey… there is no central message, for me there is no centralization of ideas… everything is parallel and important, there is no device and no faulty elements, it is your type of UNITY, which we usually forget about, because this is our neurological structure, resulting from the evolution of our brain and the history of our ancestors. It was and equivalent to our primitive grandparents who tried at an independent price in a separate environment.”
