Veronica Spiljak, winner of VAM’s Now Streaming 2024, is back with a thesis exhibition.
“In this thesis exhibition, Grieving (and) Weaving (and) Spreading (and) Becoming explores Veronica Spiljak’s practice of subverting and incorporating found images, video, Slavic motifs, text and text(iles) in a disembodied search for identity, reconnection and softness. It explores the discourse of personal grief, trauma, the domestic space, ritual, religion and gendered domestic labour that can be found in weaving methodologies and in our own archives. In what ways can recreating, assembling, manipulating ephemera, space, language and the archive be used as a tool for a softer, slower, more patient future?“
