Save the Date! On 7/9/25, just before the lunar eclipse: two powerful queer encounters in public spaces of Tallinn and Vienna, featuring Mare Tralla, Pêdra Costa and Mzamo Nondlwana.
I first met Mare Tralla in Lisbon in 2013 and a few months later, I met Pêdra Costa in Vienna, both in queer art events. This marked the start of long friendships and several collaborations.
As an artist who is constantly moving, I cherish the relationships I built in the past years and everyone who has supported me and continue to believe in my work.
In 2016, Pêdra and I inaugurated “Queer Way” at donaufestival.
In 2017, from afar, I watched group of Brazilian artists dance on “Queer Way”
@mqwien That was when I met Mzamo for the first time.
After moving to Finland, Mare Tralla has been the key person in the Baltics for my work. In 2019, we hosted a workshop called “Everyday Rebellion” at Estonian Academy of Arts.
I worked hard to find a “home” for my artworks. With the support of
@grausamalexandra my sculpture was stored in Vienna and in 2021 reactivated
@dasweissehaus - again in collaboration with Pêdra Costa. After that, with the support of
@reinhold_zisser “Queer Way” moved to Seestadt and was installed since last year: becoming part of Vienna landscape at Skulpturenalle
@notgalerie
12 years later, Mare Tralla and I reunite in Tallinn by the sculpture Dusk to perform “All Unicorns are born free and equal”, referring to the Universal Human Rights Declaration. It will be a queer mash-up to celebrate and fight for the unicorn/human rights
@tallinn_photomonth
AT THE SAME DAY just a few hours later in Vienna, Pêdra Costa and Mzamo Nondlwana will perform “ZIGZAG/||/TRUCK” to reactivate “Queer way”
@notgalerie : Inviting the public to join a parade and to follow the amplified sounds of the speakers.
Two powerful QUEER and STREET performances that celebrate years of collaboration and shared spaces.
