This print was created at Paper Can Dance as the part of the As We Grow program, led by Shalva Nikvashvili.
As We Grow is our 14day educational research programe taking place at SVĚTOVA 1 and field trips to nature, workshops, second-hands or other institutions. At it's core lies intergenerational dialogue and the exchange of experiences between participants chosen via open call and a selected leading artist. Each iteration is unique and designed in a dialogue with all who are taking part. AWG encourages learning through making attitudes and culminates in a group exhibition. In 2023, we strengthened our AWG and focused on supporting early-career artists. The second AWG of 2023 is led by Shalva Nikvashvili (1990, Sighnaghi / Georgia), who lives and works in Germany.
Lucas Bihler (@lucasbihler) uses They/Them pronouns and was born in France.
They moved to Germany at the age of nineteen and have been living in Berlin ever since. Their work explores themes of gender and identity, with a particular emphasis on the human figure, the queer body and the nuances of performance. They are fascinated by the ways in which we present ourselves to the world, and the ways in which we negotiate the sometimes conflicting demands of self-expression and social expectation. They believe that photography and performance combined together is a powerful tool for exploring the boundaries of self and identity as much as questioning the assumptions and expectations that shape our lives.
