Katarzyna Perlak:
‘Niolam Ja Se Kochaneczke’ work explores potentialities of queer utopias, while examining the relationship between history, “national values” and power structures. I revisited Eastern European folk traditions and whilst employing a contemporary reading I questioned why queer love has never been preserved and celebrated in the folk history.
I reclaim these stories and problematize how history is written and tradition is represented, often only to sustain the power structures that claim it ‘objective’. I encourage an experience of history as a discourse made out of multiple, overlapping and contesting narratives rather than a single, fixed entity.
The work will be premiered on 30th September at the Slade Interim Show, London and shortly after it will be also shown in Stockholm, Sweden at the Stoff Festival 2016 (6th – 10th Oct).
