Artist's Talk
Marija Neucenke
(One of the participants in the Q- residency programme, Ways of Traveling 2019)

A.M.Qattan Foundation invites you to attend the meeting with the Lithuanian Artist Marija Nemcenko At the Foundation's Cultural Centre-Al-Tira, Ramallah At 18.00, within a series of "Artist's Talk".

Nemcenko lives and works in Glasgow, UK. She explores contemporary myths and their dissemination through popular media, and along with her interest in stereotypes, which, in our current times, often become instruments for reasoning with the world.
She'll Talk about her project "The Migratory Nature of the White Storks". They are of big cultural importance in both Lithuania and Morocco. In both countries, this migratory bird is associated with cultural identities, consequently nationalising the bird and ascribing it to a particular place. Culture, similarly to the migratory stork, is fluid and responsive to the changing historical currents, yet is often used not as a tool to connect, but as a tool to exclude. The aim of the work is to show a diversity of national symbols attached to the stork whilst looking for parallels between seemingly disparate cultures through the bird’s natural habitats.
