Lithuanian artist Agnė Kišon­aitė trans­forms discarded mater­ials into poetic install­a­tions. In Lenzburg, she creates “Winged Motion” – a kinetic work about birds, migra­tion, and trans­form­a­tion, inspired by found objects and tradi­tional Lithuanian straw art. Work­shops invite the local community to take part in the creative process.

“In my prac­tice I invest­igate how narrat­ives are produced, medi­ated, and circu­lated, as well as their material and ideo­lo­gical effects. For that purpose, the printed news­paper has become central to my prac­tice.”

French-Amer­ican artist Wilhelmina Peace lives and works in Belfast. Through drawing and print­making, she explores myths, fairy tales and folk­lore.

During her resid­ency, she will invest­igate myths and folk beliefs surrounding water, ice and glaciers. In large-scale draw­ings, she connects tradi­tional narrat­ives with contem­porary exper­i­ences of climate change and envir­on­mental trans­form­a­tion.
