If you are interested in attending, please email Tamara Moyzes (tamara.moyzes@avu.cz).

Nicaraguan artists Alejandro De La Guerra and Elyla explore exile art and freedom of expression through queer topics.

De La Guerra is a multidisciplinary artist who works on the aestheticization of power, collective memory, and monumental languages of public spaces. Elyla (Fredman Barahona) is a performance artist and queer activist. Their work critically explores the masculine lineage of the Sandinista revolution, the narratives of national identity, and the experience of being a cochon barro-mestiza in a religious, conservative society.

ELYA will present their work at the Venice Biennale this year. Right after the opening of the Biennale, they will visit Artivist Lab, AVU, and the students!
