INSTALLATION
OF THE “EAGLE”
[Cultural incubator,
3.-7. 11. 2025,
Maribor, Slovenia]
As a final result, the Eagle installation is formed by the intertwined products, created by many participants in somatic practices, carried out during 2024 and 2025. These collective creations and other elements/solo practices of the project’s author were synergically weaved together into a connective fabric, and dedicated to the Indigenous people of Turtle Island. The invested intention of all participants works to support a healthier state of Mother Earth, all her children and our relations.
BETWEEN EXHIBITION &PERFORMANCE SCENOGRAPHY
[Cultural incubator,
Maribor & Cirkulacija2, Ljubljana, Slovenia]
In regard to widespread xenophobia, nationalisms and racism, the arrangement of the islands (basins with participants’ sculptures) attempted to raise emphatic perception of others as people. People who, just like any of us, have families, friends, partners, etc. The sculptures were therefore not arranged by the countries (national or ethnic identity) of their authors, but simply according to the types of relationships that the participants have celebrated with their sculptures (see also Sculptures & Sessions). Together with the selection of plants and accompanying texts, the exhibition further aimed at reminding the audience of our relationships with other beings: i.e. more-than-human world.
DANCE PERFORMANCE
[Cirkulacija2,
13. & 16. 10. 2025, Ljubljana, Slovenia]
In this “[…] ritualised storytelling performance […] the shadow as a predominant element […] springs from the fact that story itself is shadowy. It tells of a parallel – in the performance literally invisible – world: that of the Indigenous populations of North America, their way of life and worldview. This invisible world, however, is crucially seen from the perspective of the author of the performance: a performer, an artist, an anthropologist and a “white” person from Europe who nevertheless finds little in common with Western epistemology. Both on the page and the stage, as it were, Pernarčič struggles to make her way “Through the whites’ noise” […], deeply interested in uncovering and, in a sense, recovering stories from many overlapping dark chapters in the history of the Indigenous peoples to do with racism, crimes against women and children and, largely, against all living beings, which is the performance presents as a shared history of human kind”. (From A. Čavić’s reflection; SI ENG).
