Two-day informal symposium that will continue the research on Yanka Rudzka initiated in 2016. In a series of lectures and panel discussions together with guests from Brazil, we will introduce the Polish public to the largely unfamiliar artist, and in a symbolic way, we’ll “bring her home.” As we follow the traces of Yanka Rudzka’s artistic gestures, we will explore if and how artists of today can be inspired by traditional culture. Furthermore, using the work on ZACZYN as a point of departure, we will also address the problems of cultural appropriations and misappropriations. The latter will receive a very interesting illustration in closing the project guest performance Everything You Have is Yours? by American artist Hadar Ahuvia who critically revisits Israeli folk dances.
