We are bringing you photos from yesterday’s AFAR Talk with Megan Dominescu (RO) and Sven Jozić (HR):  Slowly But Boldly Going Nowhere: A map of artistic practice and visual upbringing, as part of the European project Artists for Artists Residency Network (AFAR), aimed at improving the mobility of contemporary visual artists and curators, thus creating greater opportunities for women in the arts. This project takes place in four European partner countries – Romania, Germany, Croatia, and Austria. The Talk took place in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, as part of the course Introduction to the Theory of Art, by associate professor Josip Zanki, Ph.D.

In conversation with Sven Jozić, Megan Dominescu explored the diverse references and drives behind an artistic practice and how seemingly contrasting ideas can merge to create a unified result. Humor was an essential element that was deconstructed and examined throughout the talk. The discussion revolved around her textile creations, comics, the brand Good Boy Security, her academic education, and the cultural differences between the USA, where she grew up, and Bucharest, where she lives.
