About the artists

Josephine Baan is an artist and educator influenced by radical pedagogy and non-hierarchical, collaborative methods. She performs with her body and voice, and makes installations, props, scripts and choreographies that explore the spaces and relationships between the flesh and the word, human and non-human bodies, and change and preservation. She is interested in the ambiguity of collectivity and wonders aloud whether solidarity without homogenisation is possible. Josephine is a member of Rotterdam-based educational collective Friendly Stalking, and co-runs School of Commons in Zurich, a community-based initiative dedicated to the study and development of decentered knowledge. At Harpy, she will perform a reading of her most recent writings.

Sini Silveri is a dancer and a poet living in Helsinki and Hamburg. At Harpy she will read her "2010s kind of gentle anarchistic nature poetry" from the zine: Private interest of each looking themselves in a trashy rosy life and from her new book Titaanidisko.
