Kabinetas: Ivanka Chai / Иванка Чай شإي إؤأنك

About

During the collaborative project between Lithuanian artist Marija Nemčenko and British artist Rowan Markson, a Lithuanian tea stall will be set up at the ‘Turkish Market’ on Maybachufer, connecting the two markets and cultures. The masculine name Ivan Chai is exchanged to Ivanka Chai whilst referring to a collective body of women by whom the tea was cultivated and bought from. This one-day event takes inspiration and integrates within the market as a social space of exchange, reflecting on the tea’s historic narrative.
 
Both artists have research-led practices that are based in the cultural intersectionalities, aiming to develop cultural counter-narratives.
