In the light of current restrictions the LGBTQIA+ community and the Slovak cultural sector are facing, we’d like to offer our exhibition as a place for imagining and sharing visions and concrete possibilities for solidary action within the arts and culture and beyond.
Let’s connect through the art of felting as a feminist practice, discuss the topic of care in architecture and urbanism during a last public guided tour with the curators and artists, and celebrate the resonance of the show with a casual musical picnic in the café and courtyard of the gallery.

Ziliä Qansurá: Felting as a feminist practice 
In this workshop, the artist will share the cultural technique of felting, which in her community of nomadic origin in Bashkortostan is passed on by women*. Together we will create a carpet or individual small sculptures.

## Ziliiä Qansurá Ufa/Vienna
Native to Bashkortostan, Ziliä reimagines images of the warrior shield for her community, situating herself in the postcolonial condition while deriving her own handcraft practice from other techniques synthesized from across Central Eurasia. She creates large-scale art installations and theatre sets to address cultural dis/connection amidst intense Russification pressures. As part of her daily art process, Ziliia turns her observations and reactions into felt sculptures.  Ziliä currently studies at Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and holds degrees from the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts GITIS, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Moscow, and the Ufa College of Art.
