The exhibition How to (Not) Remember Our Bodies is the result of a long-term artistic research on body memory in the field of reproductive medicine. The project will introduce a new film by the artist focusing on both individual and collective experiences of reproductive medicine, as well as its historical and political condition. The film draws on historical material gathered from the NFA's medical film archive, information gathered from research at the Medical Museum in Prague, and consultations with experts working on bodily memory.
Karolina Raimund
Karolina Raimund (formerly Kohoutková) is an artist, curator and educator whose artistic and pedagogical practice has long focused on body design and performance, addressing feminist and queerness themes.Identitarian issues related to corporeality in her work are complemented by environmentally engaged projects. These levels are interconnected in Karolina's upcoming exhibition, which takes as its starting point an artistic intervention in the landscape that is linked to a specific place, a 3600 m2 farmland in South Moravia, which is still listed as the property of the artist's late great-grandmother.
A cacophony of stories emerging from beneath the earth's surface, told from the perspective of a coal mine seen from the moon. The perspective of the human and non-human actors of Eastern Europe, which the author tries to see not from the perspective of the 18th century Western travelers we know and who have shaped the image of this part of the world for so many years. Inspired by Adam Bobbett's essay "The Spirituality of Coal", Ewelina has spent the last year researching coal mines and the stories associated with them, as well as how deeply coal has penetrated us, powering our electrical reality. Bobbette argues that coal creates the spiritual self of a modern man, and asks this question: How will our modern transition to a post-coal society lead to a reconfiguration of the self?
