My practice is rooted in the body and in the relationship between personal and collective history. I often work with sculpture, video and performative actions, exploring how trauma, especially intergenerational and social trauma, shapes our sense of self and our physical presence in the world. I’m especially interested in how the body can carry memory—how it can serve as a somatic archive. For me, art is a non-verbal space of encounter, a way of processing experience and connecting to others beyond language.

The research project 'From Walton Hall to Groot Schietveld: an artistic inquiry into the nature reserve as a layered entity' by Sarah Van Marcke takes the concept of the nature reserve as its point of departure and explores how the historical, political, social, and ecological layers of these human-controlled environments can give rise to alternative perspectives on our relationship with the living and non-living world.

Weaving together elements ranging from speculative science fiction to commedia dell’arte, from death metal to troubadour music, the project Desireless by Nicola Genovese inaugurates atrium Durazzi, a new space for cultural exchange opening in the headquarters of the Milanese fashion house.

I use the lens of intersectionality to scrutinize the themes of isolation, memory, care, and bodily exhaustion through sculptures, performative acts, poetry, and drawings. I dwell on the nature of both my own and historical memory by seeking a unified view of human-constructed reality. I’m particularly intrigued by the factors that make us organize external phenomena in this particular way.

We are facing a rampant wave of political revanchism and right-wing populism worldwide, forcing us to question the widespread assumption of linear and inevitable progress. A feminist art prize is therefore more important than ever. And there is no reason to hang our heads in defeat, because feminist art practices are resilient and future oriented. They offer alternatives and a safe haven for alternative way of living. We want to promote and strengthen these positions in contemporary art - especially those that confront us with the complexities of the body, identity and society and are not satisfied with simple answers. Utopia, eroticism, community, energy, resilience: together we want to embark on a journey in search of a better future.

I collect, built objects, paint, sew, arrange and bring things together. I’m drawn to materials—both for what they are and what they carry with them. I look into their histories, their associations, how they’re used, where they come from, and what kinds of narratives they hold.

I’m not entirely convinced by the idea of the “new” as something that appears out of nowhere. I work with context and the act of borrowing—tracing how meanings shift over time and how something familiar can take on a completely different weight in a new configuration. I’m interested in moments of collision—where an old idea takes on a new form, or a known form reveals an unexpected meaning. My work often begins by tracking those subtle displacements and borrowing from them.

In her first institutional solo exhibition, Kaja Lahoda turns the walls of Tranen's exhibition space inside out.

Her works are not just hanging on the wall. What she presents within the walls of the building points to what is inside the walls of the building. Lahoda is not concerned with bricks, concrete, wood and plasterboard. It is the stone wool hiding behind them that she examines, cuts, moulds and works with. In the stone-dead material, figures emerge to the surface. In Within The Wall, the insulation, which no one usually takes notice of, comes to the fore, and the lifeless material is animated by spirits and all kinds of bugs. The wall takes on a life of its own.

Rooted in research, my practice is primarily lens-based, often integrating scientific imaging techniques and performative elements. I often operate within a zone of tension: between poetic precision and systemic critique, as well as what is visible and what remains obscured. I approach space not merely as a setting but as an active component of meaning-making. In my video installations, the spatial arrangement, especially how a body moves through the work, becomes part of the narrative.

The practice of Lithuanian artist Augustas Serapinas pivots on the paradox of preservation through destruction and on the social conditions that render such destruction ordinary. In post-socialist Lithuania, rural depopulation, land privatisation and speculative development have accelerated the disappearance of vernacular architecture—modest, often self-built houses shaped by local needs and materials.

Over the past few years, my research has focused on a practice I call nonstop languaging. Rooted in autotheory, nonstop languaging entails performing streams of consciousness by tracing my thoughts through language simultaneously in spoken and written form. I perform autotheory by merging ways of articulating autobiography—carrying the self in language—with ways of forming and digesting theory. The result is an overload of words: repeated, memorized, fragmented, or invented, all seeking their own linearity.
