\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n
Anika will present three works that span across various multimedia formats \u2014 digital collage, poetry, and film.<\/p>\n
\u201cJigsaw of Belonging\u201d<\/p>\n
A puzzle-like collage of items collected from various places and people, this work visualises the theme of belonging as a puzzle, where small pieces of homes and communities travel with me as a repository of shared experiences.<\/p>\n
\u201cBear Paws\u201d<\/p>\n
A short poem exposing the emotions of belonging to different countries and moving from a young age. It details the anxieties and pain of understanding your identity when \u2018home\u2019 does not feel like a concrete place that can be returned to.<\/p>\n
\u201c#girlsfantasising\u201d<\/p>\n
A micro-short film juxtaposing a family road trip from Belgrade to Pozarevac with a horoscope reading between friends in London. The film represents the binaries between belonging to 2 places and navigating how to inhabit both social spaces while never being fully present in both. The visuals of the comfort of family parallel the voices of found families, and the incessant feeling of being \u2018homesick\u2019 while in both homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
