This talk will be exploring the diverse references and drives behind an artistic practice and how seemingly contrasting ideas can merge to create a unified result. Humor is an essential element that will be deconstructed and examined throughout the talk.<\/p>\n

Megan Dominescu (RO) \u2013<\/strong> a visual artist based in Bucharest, Romania with a background in painting and origins in Washington, D.C. She uses various mediums in her work but has focused mainly on textiles in recent years. Her works range from large-scale hand-made tapestries to embroidered interventions to textile sculptures.

The Artists for Artists Residency Network<\/strong>, a two-year project (2023-2024),\u00a0aims to improve the mobility of contemporary visual artists and curators while creating greater opportunities for women in the arts.<\/strong>\u00a0The project takes place in four European partner countries \u2013 Romania, Germany, Croatia and Austria. The project focuses on the development of new international exchanges and transcultural dialogue and provides a number of new opportunities for art practitioners of all ages, in different artistic media, with a special emphasis on women in art and gender equality. The result of the project will be increased awareness of the importance of cultural mobility at local legislative levels, but also in the general public, especially in the current (post)crisis European context, strengthening EU affiliation and connection with contemporary visual art.<\/p>\n

The project includes:\u00a012 artist residencies<\/strong>\u00a0in Zagreb (HR), Mulhouse (FR), Bucharest (RO) and in S\u0103cel, Maramure\u0219 (RO),\u00a04 curatorial residencies<\/strong>\u00a0in Zagreb and Bucharest,\u00a012 conferences<\/strong>\u00a0in Zagreb, Bucharest and Vienna and\u00a01 traveling international exhibition<\/strong>, which will first be shown to the public in Zagreb (HR), and then in Vienna (AT) and Bucharest (RO).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
