Wayward

About

By intersectional storytelling unfolds a relational aesthetic that can be experienced in the exhibition through film installations, screen-prints and selected sketches.

Maps, animal and human bodies are the starting point where the visitors and the artist can join for revision and transformation processes. There is a state of confluence, transition and hybridity that shapes the view of individual and collective bodies and identity. However, this is not to be equated with an absence of tension, conflict, collisions and wedging – the figures are intertwined, connected and touching each other.

The title Wayward, in its various meanings, refers to qualities that can have positive or negative connotations depending on the context: headstrong, willful, unpredictable, resistant. It is an attitude or behavior that is not expected by others and is perceived as not conforming to social codes. The striving to exist outside the normative templates in self-determination and integrity is the central theme towards which Rüzgâr Buşki’s practice gravitates. Wayward presents a survey of works spanning 12 years of filmmaking, LGBTQIA+ activism, art-making and community work.

A variety of events will be upcoming in September to accompany the exhibition: A screen-printing workshop for children, a bicycle tour as part of „KGB Kunstwoche“, and the “Connect to your super power – connect to your Voice” workshop.
