Preceding her exhibition Blow the Boutique at anorak in Berlin, Mint konsthall’s Emily Fahlén spoke with Małga Kubiak about her life, work, and taboo-filled artistic practice. The interview is available to read now on our website, linked in our bio. Kubiak’s The Ego Trip Collection (1984-1884) is featured as the point of departure for Blow the Boutique, on view from April 30th – June 13th. Within the video series, Kubiak confronts the viewer with existential questions through a rapid montage of images, dark humour, and explicit imagery. The exhibition also features works by Keira Fox and Ksenia Pedan.

On the opening night of BLOW THE BOUTIQUE, 30.4 at anorak, Keira Fox presents ’Contrivances of hell’ – a new performative iteration of an ongoing research project into written testimonies of state violence and the weaponization of gender, focusing on methods used against women held on remand at Armagh Prison in Northern Ireland during the early 1980s. With a focus on the women’s own weapons of day to day resistance, Keira Fox’s interventions take place within the walls of Ksenia Pedan’s installation and accompanied by Sean Colum’s audio interferences, in a sequence of seven. Costume design is by Xenab Lone.

As part of Mint Poetry Festival 2026, artists Lucas Foletto Celinski and James Richards, present a newly commissioned performance that brings together a collage of texts, images, and audio from the work of Brazilian writer Hilda Hilst (1930–2004). Over a career spanning more than five decades, she produced a diverse body of work that includes poetry, drama, and experimental fiction. At the core of the performance are excerpts that exposes the aging body, desire, madness, and a faith in crisis. The work will be performed by Lucas Foletto Celinski, Marie Silkeberg and Em Silén. Lucas Foletto Celinski is a Brazilian artist based in Berlin. His artistic practice focuses on the body and its processes of manipulation, transformation, and resistance. His interdisciplinary approach establishes a dialogue between visual art and body modification practices, a field in which he is also active as a researcher and educator, engaging in historical study, exhibition-making, and experimentation on his own body. James Richards is a visual artist living in Berlin. He is also the guest curator of this year’s Poetry Festival.

Mint Poetry Festival 2026 presents Franks Dogs (2025) by Angela Lieber. Angela Lieber, based in Bremen, Germany and Lubbock, Texas, uses everything - trash, their body, poetry, archives, local infrastructures - to make texts, videos, performances, voice works, and installations about desire, longing, memory, erotics, and other affective states attached to the lifelong processes of cultural subjectification. Their work often takes on forms that betray and exceed their intended uses, such as interview protocols, screenplays that are never produced, liturgical scores, and to-do lists. Angela works primarily in collectives, and their work has been presented internationally in site-specific exhibitions, academic institutions, bedrooms, festivals, and bunkers.

Mint Poetry Festival 2026 presents ’Black Flags’ by Ian White. Performed by Adam Sinclaire. Ian White (1971–2013) was an artist, curator and writer. Born and raised in Dagenham, he studied English Literature at Downing College, Cambridge (1990-93). On returning to London in the mid-1990s he became involved with the underground arts scene around The Horse Hospital, where he was both programmer and occasional performer for several years. By the mid-2000s White was a highly influential curator of the moving image and organised many screenings, events and exhibitions for venues including LUX, the Whitechapel Gallery, Kino Arsenal in Berlin and the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.   White was also an artist working primarily in performance (he himself called his curatorial and artistic work “indivisible”). He often worked collaboratively, notably with fellow artist and friend Jimmy Robert.  In addition to his curatorial and performance work, White wrote extensively for art magazines, as well as numerous catalogue essays and book chapters. He also taught extensively, holding positions at Goldsmiths’ Department of Art and the Dutch Art Institute amongst others, and was leader of the LUX Associate Artists Programme (2007-13).   White lived in London for much of his working life, but after a DAAD residency in 2009 he relocated to Berlin for several years, returning to London only in the last year of his life.  Mint Poetry Festival 2026 ’With my dog eyes’ 28 March, 14–17 Zätasalen, ABF Sveavägen 41 Stockholm curated by James Richards with Mint. 🔗Ticket link in bio! and at m-i-n-t.se Photo: Krzysztof Zielinski  Courtesy: The Artistic Estate of Ian White #IanWhite @adamsinclaire #adamsinclaire #jamesrichards #mintpoetryfestival
