ABOUT KAWITA'S CURRENT PROJECT


My series of video work, performances and photographs are focused on the female's body and its relationship to different elements such as water, sand, wind and man-made materials such as plastic, paper, rubber and fabrics. The experimentations are developed to look at the action and reaction of the body in different spaces and environments, the transformation of the shape and form of the body that visually changed into a sculpture when affected physically from the elements and materials in order to examine the psychological, corporeal and cultural ways of viewing the human condition. The certain symbols contained in the videos are used to reflect the idea of violence, endurance, communication, as well as gender.

Pop-up Migrants Exhibition


United Nations International Migrants Day Exhibition

Australia is celebrating the International Migrants Day on the 18th December 2011.

I am pleased to announce that my video work, "Garbage Bag, 2011" will be part of the exhibition, "Pop-Up Migrants" curated by Matteo Rubbettino. Pop-up Migrants will be focused on migrants who have crossed borders to Australia and slowly contributed to shape the Australian culture.

" Garbage Bag, 2011"



The exhibition will be held on the 18th December 2011.
Time: 5.00 pm - 9.00 pm
At: The Tinder Box Studio, 173 Brunswick Street, Fizroy, Australia



Info:

Pop-Up Migrants” is a compelling art show focused on migrants’ experience in Australia who historically “crossed borders” to a new environment where they were strangers at first, then disorientated, then little by little contributing to shape Australian culture.
The term Pop-Up is intended to recall the situation in which unexpected diversity intervenes to "shake things up".

This project has been created to represent Australia for the action initiated by the Immigrant Movement International from the US and to celebrate the International Migrants Day designated by the United Nations.

All the artists included in the program responded with a work of art to the Migrant Manifesto, published on the 4th of November 2011 and that you will find attached below.
