wiu, my first peer reviewed paper 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 is published in The Swamped, 5.0 Soapbox Journal for Cultural Analysis @soapboxjournal i wrote about swamps as glitching landscapes resisting stabilisation and examined how capitalist extraction and representation through cartography produce an abstraction for a specific political goal (can see how this is happening we know where). swamps resist clear definitions, they continue to dance in muddy, glitchy ambiguity always shifting never stable. ⚔️ more than 50% non-male sources, bkoz representation matters ⚔️ + glitch feminism that made the swamp become glitch available in some bookstores in Amsterdam and online thank you to my editors for the guidance. #research #criticalspatialpractice #landscapewriting #extraction #criticalecology #swamps #journal #culturalanalysis #representation #cartography #criticalcartography #unstableground

In the project 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗧𝗼 𝗕𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴, the duo @swamp_matter (#EvaGaribaldi & #AnaLauraRichter) explores the karstic system of water caves as a temporally and materially manifold depository of climate history. The immersive #installation has been created based on a situated and embodied research of the Škocjan Caves and builds a speculative and multilayered setting of transformations and dimensions beyond the human, which actively produces new modes of openness to the world.

A few weeks ago @levokaso invited me to @kunstlerhaus_buchsenhausen focus weeks to present a dialogue 𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒲𝑒𝓉𝓁𝒶𝓃𝒹: 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓉𝑒 𝒫𝑜𝓌𝑒𝓇, 𝑅𝑒𝓈𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓃𝒸𝑒, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝐸𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑒𝓈 𝑜𝒻 𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎 unpacking our artistic research on swamps. bringing two sites into conversation: Lake Cerknica in Slovenia and the Meshchyora Peatlands in Russia, we traced how state power and cartography reshape wetlands, their consequences, glitches, and the echoes of these struggles in the present day. really grateful to present this research (that was until now only in writing) and to rediscover the 200+ sources from my (forgotten) visual archive I compiled a few years ago. the last two slides are some of my favorites from this collection, depicting the cross-section and functioning of karstic Lake Cerknica. 6 Janez Vajkard Valvasor, Slava vojvodine Kranjske, book IV, 1689 7 Anton von Steinberg, Gründliche Nachricht von dem Inner-Crain gelegen Cirknizer See, 1758 photos by @kunstlerhaus_buchsenhausen

Tuesday at 16:00 on Radio WORM, Eva is joined by Astrida Neimanis on Muddy Signals. Astrida Neimanis is a lovely human, academic and writer working in the field of feminist environmental humanities, whose work has been circling Eva's brain and practice ever since the radiomaker accidentally wandered into the (metaphorical) swamp years ago. Together they recorded a conversation about water, feeling the field, porosity, tactics and pockets of resistance, empathy, agency and what it means to listen to the lands that hold us. Eva says, "i hope this fills you, as it did me, with a sense of inspiration and urgency. to keep engaging, to listen and attune. to destroy systems of extraction and oppression, to resist loudly and silently. to look for cracks like water to develop new tactics to intersect, interrupt, and glitch." Astrida joined the show from the unceded territory of the syilx people in Kelowna, BC.

anyways, be sure to consult the douglas firs and the owls 🦉🔴

We are reflecting, corresponding, journaling about our experience of living, learning and studying in The Netherlands. 🌀 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐌𝐬 “The level of designed discipline in daily life shocked me and I found myself in search of a way out. Ironically, I found it back home, in the very lack of comprehensive design solutions, in the incompetence of the system to produce the perfect world, in its inability to exercise total control - in accidental anarchy dictated by the force of necessity.” Texts by Gaja Pegan Nahtigal @fromgaja @gpngpngpn Eva Bevec @usodna Eva Garibaldi @va_garibaldi Ana Laura Richter @analaura_richter Lea Topolovec @cd_yknyu Thanks to Debra Solomon @debrasolomon_uhoeve for contributing with the beautiful introduction, @usodna for graphic design, @osmoza for exhibition space and @mol for financial support.

this year i learned that i won’t die if i slow down, maybe quite the opposite. more guiltless rest, more listening and stillness. more feeling like home, more dancing, more dreams, more curiosity and play play play!!! xoxo 2025 💙

fake grass, a white picket fence, orange bricks and Buddha statues that have replaced garden gnomes (the final boss of human attempts to control nature, shaping it into something predictable and domesticated) ꩜ more a symbol of nature and its spiritual awakening than nature itself. Thanks to everyone who joined us for the opening of “𝑲𝑬𝑬𝑷 𝑶𝑭𝑭 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑮𝑹𝑨𝑺𝑺”. The reading session brought together fragments of our graduation projects, shaped during our years studying art and design in the Netherlands. Living in such an engineered landscape has reshaped how we understand land, ourselves, and the power dynamics between humans and the rest of nature. We’re grateful to have shared this introspection with you all, and we hope the conversation keeps growing.

NE HODI PO TRAVI (Seansa za vračanja) / KEEP OFF THE GRASS (A Gathering for Returning) Otvoritev/Opening ponedeljek/Monday, 3. 11. 2025 | 18.00 Razstava/Exhibition 3.–6. 11. 2025 Osmo/za Slovenska 54 Ljubljana Kolektiv/Collective: Eva Bevec, Eva Garibaldi, Gaja Pegan-Nahtigal, Lea Topolovec in Ana Laura Richter Med letoma 2019 in 2021 smo se zaradi študija na različnih umetnostnih in oblikovalskih akademijah iz Slovenije preselile na Nizozemsko. Dislokacija v sterilno, nadzorovano in neskončno predvidljivo krajino je v nas sprožila razmisleke o naravi, domu, odtujenosti, zemlji, marginalnih prostorih, vrtičkih, močvirjih, počasnosti minevanja in cikličnosti, ki so postali osrednje teme naših umetniških raziskovanj. Skozi prihajajočo seanso in publikacijo Ne hodi po travi tokrat sopostavljamo fragmente in odvode svojih študijskih projektov, ki naslavljajo izkušnje razpetosti med obema okoljema in preizprašujejo delovanje urbanih in naravnih (eko)sistemov, ki jih opazujemo skozi različna merila. Dogodek deluje kot vstopna točka v raziskovanje predstavljenih projektov in relacij med njimi. Lepo vabljeni_e, da se nam pridružite ob otvoritvi ali na dogodkih spremljevalnega programa, ki bo objavljen kmalu. 🌳🌫️🧱 — Between 2019 and 2021, we moved to the Netherlands to study at various art and design academies. The dislocation into a sterile, controlled, and endlessly predictable landscape provoked reflections on nature, home, alienation, soil, marginal spaces, gardens, swamps, and the slowness of time. These concepts gradually become the core of our artistic practices. Through the upcoming Gathering and the publication Keep Off the Grass, we juxtapose fragments and extensions of our student projects that address the experience of being split between the two environments and question the dynamics of urban and natural (eco)systems, which we observe through different scales. The event is an entry point for exploring our projects and the relations between them. You are kindly invited to join us at the opening or at the accompanying program events, which will be announced soon. 🌳🌫️🧱 S podporo/With the support of @mestnaobcinaljubljana
