How do we create when crisis becomes the everyday?
How do we stay solidary across borders, languages, papers, and unequal freedoms of movement?
Art doesn’t give easy answers — but it opens space to ask the right questions.

Guest: Natalia Gurova — multidisciplinary artist

Next week, the colloquium “Artistic self-organisation and networks of solidarity in times of crisis” at mdw gathers artists, researchers, and cultural workers to reflect on (forced) mobility, resilience, and collective action.  https://www.mdw.ac.at/Ikm/?PageId=4795

Natalia Gurova works at the intersection of fiction, history, and social structures, translating these narratives into sculpture, installation, and curatorial practice. Her work engages with migration, queer identity, and the politics of memory through wood, ceramics, metal, text, and found materials. She explores fragmentation, reconstruction, and how objects carry traces of personal histories, often creating forms that appear part-body, part-structure.
Born in Belarus, raised in Russia, and based in Austria since 2014, she studied object sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and has exhibited at Vienna Art Week, Vienna Design Week, Wien Woche, Parallel, ACF London, Queer Museum, Galerie Michaela Stock, and Belvedere 21.
