Sat June 1 | de Brakke Grond
In her talk, Diana Alina Serbanescu aka Neranti will showcase snippets of her artistic practice, which is envisioned as a quest for poetic embodiment and utilises dance-theatre and the creation of innovative technological artefacts. She will explore ideas and techniques developed over the years, framed by community engagement and feminist approaches to knowledge creation. Her works, each building upon the last, involve chance discoveries and emerging pathways, contributing to an ever-evolving practice. Woven into her audio-visual narrative are four key projects: The Shape of Things to Come (2019 - 2020), Dancing at the Edge of the World (2020 - 2021), Embodied Voice and AI (2021 - 2022), She Brings the Rain (2023).
