Art and Literature in Nature
RegisterA guided art-and-writing walk with KOAC artist-in-residence Bogdan Cheța
Join artist Bogdan Cheța (BFA '09, Drawing and MFA '19, Craft Media) in a special art-and-writing-walk at the KOAC sculpture park where he plans to guide attendees through an art-performance experiment inspired by the late author Derek Jarman’s search for a queer sculpture garden, that drifts, virtually, and across time, like an avatar for another possible future.
By reading and walking in tandem alongside Derek Jarman's posthumously published journal entries about a re-envisioned future, Bogdan Cheța invites an encounter with “hearing” voices from history that then opens pathways into possible futurities, inclusive and respectful of a past where everyone can see themselves reflected in ways that bring dignity to each other’s lived experience and sense of collective belonging.
