SUMMARY:'I Can Speak' at the Interdisciplinary Symposium: Polyphony and Silence

DESCRIPTION:15 May 2025 | STUK\, Leuven\, Belgium \nPolyphony and silence are vital to understanding voice and representation\, particularly in resisting dominant political and cultural forces. While polyphony unites multiple voices in diversity\, silence functions as both omission and resistance\, creating space for listening. These concepts confront nationalist and colonial narratives\, particularly in migration and marginalisation. \nFrom the enforced ‘culture of silence’ under dictatorship to the quietude of a village above a lake\, both can serve as profound spaces for meaning-making and self-expression\, as seen in our I Can Speak performance. This symposium explores how polyphony and silence intersect across literature\, art\, and activism to contest power structures. \nPart of the ERC Starting Grant project COLLAB\, which examines collaborative literary practices in migration and displacement. (https://collab-lit.com/about/)

SUMMARY:Art & Poetry Exhibition ‘Da-No: Embryology of Inspiration’ by Sara Maino and Marina Kazakova
DESCRIPTION:Art & Poetry Exhibition ‘Da-No: Embryology of Inspiration’\nBy Sara Maino and Marina Kazakova\nJuly 30 – August 21\, 2022\nVernissage\, 7pm\, Friday\, July 29\, 2022\nGalerie Welnis\nAstridplein 6\, 8670 Oostduinkerke\, Koksijde \nIntermedia exhibition:\npaintings and printed poems installation\, live poetry\nProduction 2022 \nThe exhibition is part of the ongoing PhD Research of Marina Kazakova at LUCA School of Arts/KU Leuven ‘Lyric Poem. A research on how the unique characteristics of lyric poetry can be expressed in audio-visual medium’.\n_________ \nThe municipality of Koksijde is delighted to announce the ‘Da-No: Embryology of Inspiration’ exhibition\, a live month-long juried exhibition featuring over 80 pieces of artwork created by Sara Maino (painting) and Marina Kazakova (poetry). \nThe exhibition is open July 30 – August 21\, 2022\, from 10am to 6pm every day at Galerie Welnis\, Astridplein 6\, 8670 Oostduinkerke\, Koksijde. The opening reception is 11 am Saturday\, July 30. Admission to the reception and exhibition is free. \nThe art and artists of Koksijde continue to reflect the town’s great creativity and diversity. Each year a panel of art professionals from Cultuur Dienst Koksijde selects the pieces for the annual exhibition though a jury process. The result is a series of exhibitions featuring the works of artists and craftspeople that live or work in Koksijde. \n \n“The beginning of something”\, 2022\nAcrylic on canvas\n70x60cm\, Sara Maino \n\nThe exhibition ‘Da-No: Embryology of Inspiration’ presents the paintings and drawings of Sara Maino in dialogue with the poetry of Marina Kazakova\, produced between 2020 and 2022. \nThe exhibition is built as an art installation\, inviting visitors to an insight walk through the four elements. The spectator will experience: 1 Earth and trees\, green roots and rhythm; 2 Firebirds and battle\, Stravinsky and contrappunto; 3 Acqua armonia; 4 Air and transparency from crag. \nThe titles of these four sections refer to what\, at diverse senses levels\, you can see\, touch and listen at the Welnis Galerie: drawings\, canvas on wood of various sizes\, printed and sound poems and objects collected on the North Sea. They all show the personal style evolution from various abstract to figurative contents\, from black to colours\, to which the creation of poetic words is responding. \n \n“Tinylittlelost”\, Sara Maino 2021 \n\nThe two artists use various means to explore the way they inspire each other and test the origins of their inspirations. Sara utilizes natural materials such as charcoal collected during the long walks among the olive trees of her native land\, which is Arco\, near to the Garda lake in Trentino. The landscape and its elements have a deep strong influence on her perceptions: “I deal with emotions\, memories and feelings perceived through the strong relationship with nature\, especially trees\, herbs\, and with the sounds of each landscape I live in. They are my engine\, they mix with my disposition and I feel the urgency to express them through a personal music made of painting gestures on canvas\, sheets and wood by experimenting with a lot of materials”. \nLarch and chestnut wood branches’ powder\, limestone’s grind crystals\, azulene oil\, soil\, pigments\, leaves\, flowers\, sand are used by the artist to create site-specific paintings that reflect a relationship between the materials and their surroundings. During the pandemic\, Sara trained herself in the art of listening to nature’s inspiration and by practising oil paints\, acrylics\, pastels\, pens\, pencils\, watercolour pencils. \n“Creating constantly and learning from the work of each other is a good way to draw inspiration. Much of art arises from art itself’\, says Marina\, who lives in Belgium for 12 years and in Sint-Idesbald since 2020. “Koksijde is synonymous with art – as this town was and still is home of many extraordinary artists. Since the beginning of 20th century\, painters\, writers\, sculptors have flocked to this town\, seeking inspiration from its rugged and romantic landscape and unique natural light. I live in Sint Idesbald\, between ‘Paul Delvaux Museum’ and ‘Villa Kerkepanne’\, the house of the great Flemish writer Willem Elsschoot. You’ve been surrounded by history\, you’ve got the symphony of the sea\, you are in the lap of sand dunes and all your thoughts\, all your poetic ideas are milling around.” \n \nMarina Kazakova & Sara Maino \n\nThe juxtaposition of artworks by the two artists aims to provide visual-verbal suggestions and spontaneous correspondences\, rather than a deliberate reconstruction of the influence of one artistic work on another. The exhibition does not indeed operate through direct comparisons\, but rather allows references to intuitive pervasion of each other’s creativity. \nIn the exhibition\, sometimes their worlds gently coincide\, at other times they stand in striking contrast. Before the viewer\, they spread threads of hues and strokes that translate words and sentences\, unbend layers of possible bonds and show objects as traces of their common inspiration. \n“I have gained profound inspiration from Koksijde\, from the horizontal line of the sea\, shrimpers on horses breast-deep in the surf\, the neighbours who still remember the princess Marie-José of Belgium dancing at ‘La Guinguette’\, the quality of colours which so excites one’s sense of form”\, says Sara. \nThough concerned with form and abstraction\, their art is primarily about relationships: between the human and the landscape\, between the inner and the outer self\, and\, of course\, between people at an individual and social level. \nIf you are planning to attend the vernissage on 29th July at 7pm\, please\, confirm your presence either by phone (T. 058 53 34 40) or by filling in the following online form: www.koksijde.be/kazakova-maino \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mani Lit Fest (Greece)
DESCRIPTION:Glad to preliminary confirm my participation in the Mani Lit Fest in October 1-2\, 2021. \nI will be performing poetry live as well as presenting my new animation poetry film ‘On How the Palace Bridge Opens Up Its Hands” as part of my current PhD research on symphonism.  \nABOUT THE FESTIVAL \nA new event for the area\, Mani Lit Fest almost invented itself. It began one lazy day in summer 2018\, with a cup of coffee in the shady garden of Patriko Bar in Stoupa\, and a conversation with historical novelist Carol McGrath. A part-time resident of the area\, Carol had previously done a ‘Meet the Writer’ event at the bar\, where she had talked about her first novel ‘The Hand-Fasted Wife’ (book one of her Daughters of Hastings trilogy). Carol having just published her fourth novel\, ”The Woman in the Shadows’\, the talk turned to the possibility of her doing another similar event at the bar. Less than an hour later\, the idea had somehow grown into a full day event of workshops\, talks\, performances and literary cocktails\, and we realised it had turned into a mini literature festival. \nABOUT THE LOCATION \nThe Mani Peninsula (Greek: Μάνη\, romanized: Mánē)\, also long known by its medieval name Maina or Maïna (Μαΐνη)\, is a geographical and cultural region in southern Greece that is home to the Maniots (Mανιάτες\, Maniátes in Greek)\, who claim descent from the ancient Spartans. The capital citiy of Mani is Areopoli. Mani is the central peninsula of the three which extend southwards from the Peloponnese in southern Greece. To the east is the Laconian Gulf\, to the west the Messenian Gulf. The Mani peninsula forms a continuation of the Taygetos mountain range\, the western spine of the Peloponnese.

SUMMARY:StAnza\, Scotland's International Poetry Festival
DESCRIPTION:The town of St Andrews – where StAnza: Scotland’s Poetry Festival takes place every March – can easily claim to be the poetry capital of Scotland. Here’s why… \nAs well as hosting the only major Scottish international poetry event\, the town has many connections with poets of note – from Edwin Muir last century\, going back to Andrew Lang\, Robert Fergusson and William Dunbar. On top of this the principal Scottish poet of last century – Hugh MacDiarmid – lived in the town in the early part of last century. \nOn top of that\, the university is home to the UK largest building (other than libraries) dedicated to poetry. This is Poetry House\, part of the University of St Andrews School of English. This is home to 5 of the country’s leading contemporary poets – John Burnside\, Robert Crawford\, Douglas Dunn\, Kathleen Jamie & Don Paterson – all of whom work for the School of English and live in the vicinity of the town. \nI am happy to share the stage of 2021’s edition with dozens of talents from around the world. This year’s festival themes of ‘Make It New’ and ‘No Rhyme nor Reason’\, and a translated language focus of ‘Beyond the Iron Curtain’. \nI will conduct the ‘meet the Artist’ live webcast session on the 8th of March at 12:30 (UK Time) as well as premier my PhD research outcome\, a short film “On How The Palace Bridge Opens Up Its Hands” at the festival’s filmed poetry section ‘Poetry Loops’: https://stanzapoetry.org/festival/events/poetry-loops-4 \nLearn more on: https://stanzapoetry.org/ \nJoin StAnza 2021 on 6-14 March\, 2021
