Anthropologies of Space is an interdisciplinary (performance)art project initiated by eˉlektron. It will result in the creation of three new works at this year’s Baltoscandal. As the name suggests, artists deal with space and human. The environment and conditions around us are something that we perceive on a daily basis as "the thing in itself" - something that has been given to us but has become more and more strongly influenced today. Be it a global pandemic or a virtual reality that is becoming more and more a regular part of our sense of space.

Three different works by four artists are created in Rakvere. Daria Khrystych and Bohdana Korohod take us on a walk-with humans and non-humans of Rakvere.

Daria Khrystych is Ukrainian independent researcher and socially-engaged artist, currently based in Estonia. In her practice she works at the intersection of feminist spatial readings, performativity of corporeal existences and radical care methodologies as a political act of resistance against the present capitalist condition. As a white Ukrainian able-bodied cis-gender woman, she addresses the questions of subjective embodied experiences in public space and incorporates frameworks of care to unfold the potential of mutual supportive coexistence.

Bohdana Korohod is Ukrainian independent researcher and interdisciplinary artist, living and working in Estonia. In her practice she works with (written) text and (moving) image. No matter the form she is engaging with, the question of necessity comes first. “How could I use this public moment of my work being presented or shared so that it goes beyond the mode of personal expression? Within which broader social, economic and political realities do I work?”
