Friday, May 24 from 6:15 to 8pm you can attend the kick-off of Vleeshal’s International Nomadic Program 2024-2025 during the film screening ‘Her Gaze: moving image from Central Asia’ ~ Aïda Adilbek, Medina Bazarğali, Saodat Ismailova, Madina Joldybek, Nazira Karimi, Daria Kim, Zumrad Mirzalieva. For Vleeshal, League of Tenders developed the program ‘Repetition is a Form of Changing’, as a collective attempt at rehearsing and practicing non-imperial and anti-colonial ideals. The program consists of Four Seasons. For each Season, League of Tenders will invite non-Western artists, musicians, filmmakers, and choreographers to approach and repeat one of Vleeshal’s previous projects and question the (western) knowledge behind feminism, language, ecology, and care. They will revisit these concepts and discuss them from their own perspectives.
Since 2022, Vleeshal has organized the International Nomadic Program. With this project, we give young and emerging curators the opportunity to develop an international program within an institutional context to give new voices a chance to be heard. For the period 2024-2024, the new curators for Vleeshal’s Nomadic Program are Maria Sarycheva and Elena Ishchenko who form the curatorial duo League of Tenders.
