Birdprayers is a collaborative response to the contentious issues on religious conflicts. Believing that art in public space is one of the most effective channels to deconstruct stereotypes and create an awareness of diversity and difference. The concept of Birdprayers is based on the ridged aspect of identity. Having a persuasion is close related with inner values and personal judgments but also with the sensation of safety and comfort in one's own environment. With Birdprayers we want to talk about the relativity of thoughts and feelings. We made Birdprayers an interdisciplinary, intercultural and ongoing art project, which has to travel around the world to get even stronger.
Birdprayers manifest itself every time is one or more disciplines: Allthough that the different editions of Birdprayers will be always accompanied by the video performances "All in the Mind", additional there will be also installations, sculptures, drawings, paintings, prints, readings, discussions and other forms of communication, sometimes in collaboration with other artists.
Till now we made three editions of the project: one on Bali (with an exhibition in Sika Gallery with paintings, drawings and sculptures) one in Yogyakarta in Indonesia (with a discussion at IVAA, Indonesian Visual Arts Archieve) and one in Istanbul. The next one will be very soon, in The Hague in The Netherlands. This is to put it all into different perspectives.
