The project Paningkamot Pagpadayon ang Paglupad (PPaP) // An Attempt to not Lose Flight: Segments 1 and 2 by Jay Albaos investigates how migrant precarity is produced, framed, and embodied within Flemish Belgium. It examines how rhetoric around “integration” shapes local/non‑local relations, and how these dynamics manifest in the daily lived experience of migrant bodies.

A constant in my work has been engaging with the body and its movements. Coming from a dance background, an intuitiveness and need to move has filtered through my practice. Guided by a curiosity for material, my practice spans sculpture, text, printmaking, video, performance, sound and installation. This has led to processes of carving wood and stone, constructing sculptures in tension, and experimenting with feedback and resonance through wooden membranes. The motion of carving and removing has helped to question the histories attached and reflect on a personal archive of experiences.

Open call: Collective Practices

Do you have a shared artistic practice?

We are launching a new online interview series exploring the dynamics of collective practice — how groups make decisions, share authorship, and sustain creative work over time — among many other questions. We are looking for collectives and duos willing to open up their process and share what they’ve learned.

Whatever form your collaboration takes, we want to hear from you.

The research of Natalia Mejía Murillo explores themes of territory, memory, and materiality, bringing together different geographical contexts through shared visual and symbolic languages. Her project entitled “Mistranslation” was selected for the residency organized by EXCLAMA, in collaboration with Panorama in Venice, culminating in a public exhibition on view from June 18 to September 6.

The contrast between freedom and control recurs constantly in my work. The appropriation of a tool or situation as a form of resistance against matters beyond my power. This gives me ultimate freedom as an artist.

I create aids for my limited body. Objects that carry a contradiction within them: the promise of redemption and physical self-improvement on the one hand, and the unattainability of that ideal on the other. They are imaginative innovations that are impossible to use while being worn. I also explore this tension through performances and other work where the (often absurd) relationship of my body to the outside world takes center stage.

The colorful aids appear playful, familiar, and strange. A spherical sculpture turns out to fit around the hips and then suddenly becomes a pair of protective trousers. I often work with light yet strong materials used in orthopedics, among other fields. Thermoplastic, foam clay, electrical wire, fabric and found parts, such as wheels or handles.

When a sculpture is finished, I photograph it while my twin sister wears it. In this way, the abstract sculpture transforms into an aid applied to a body of flesh and blood.

My work moves between documentary observation, conceptual thinking and image-making rooted in atmosphere and stories. This approach can be applied to anything I do. I’m drawn to incompleteness and to the tension between what is revealed and what remains unresolved. The idea of the fragment is central to the way I think – how individual fragments, when placed next to one another, can create an entirely new narrative or emotional meaning. That’s why I like to think of myself more as a collector than a traditional photographer.

“The animal has secrets which, unlike the secrets of caves, mountains, seas, are specifically addressed to man.”

So has written John Berger in his essay “Why Look at Animals?”. Today, in the reality of climate collapse and mass production, addressing animal topic has gained a new sense of urgency.

Tique has selected six books on the animal topic. Some of them reflect on the damages of the Anthropocene, with nonhuman animals being its primary victims. Others focus on futuristic visions, nonhuman perspective and agency. Each contributes to a vision of a kinder future – multi-species coexistence, where human is placed among, not above, the animal network.

What Can We Not Think? is an exhibition by Dominika Łabądź on sensitivity to the world of capitalist ruins – both ecological and social. It resembles a ruderal garden: a site where disturbances wrought by human activity give rise to new ecosystems. Here, plants, animals, organisms, and matter coalesce into dynamic networks of relations that operate beyond the limits of human perception.
