Upcoming: Borjana Ventzislavova
Borjana Ventzislavova will join ISIS in June 2012 to take part in our research residency programme. Born in Sofia, Bulgaria, Borjana currently spilt her time between Sofia and Vienna.
Borjana works in the fields of film/video, photography, installation and new media, everyday connections and social and political relations play a central role in her artistic work.
During her residency at ISIS, Borjana will concentrate on research for a new video project called 'Radical Cheerleading' which will deal with the current social and political crisis situation of our so called developed capitalist society. Borjana intends to compile texts that will serve the base for lyrics of political protest songs, collecting such texts from different sources as well as from meetings with different communities. The text will not only contain critique on the system but also ideas and proposals for possible or/and utopian solutions.
Borjana will create cheerleading teams from people of all ages from all over Europe and North America who will perform the texts in the way of 'Radical Cheerleading'.
