\nHow do we make our voices heard on the threshold of a shared future? And how do we listen in a radically new way, so that human and non-human forms of life become perceptible again in their interconnectedness? Zorka Wollny\u2019s artistic and musical works give physical and performative form to feelings of anger and fear, resistance, community, and empathy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

With \u201cVoices \/ Stimmen\u201c, Kunsthaus Dresden presents Zorka Wollny\u2019s first solo exhibition in Germany and opens a view into an extraordinary oeuvre between performance and composition, collectivity and activism. Zorka Wollny\u2019s projects are always collaborative and respond seismographically to questions of our time: the presence or absence of work, interactions between people and their environment, post-industrial landscapes, social participation, social justice and the experience of violence.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0\u201cSinging Machine\u201d\u00a0in 2022, Zorka Wollny developed an architectural soundscape for the abandoned Hanover colliery, in which the influx of job seekers from \u201eall over Europe\u201c is metaphorically taken up as a \u2018flow of energy.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s Make Noise, Sisters!\u201d\u00a0is a collaborative series of performances and installations developed over several months. The project was created in direct response to the restriction of women\u2019s rights in Poland, particularly the tightening of abortion legislation since 2020. A total of 30 videos form the both intimate and defiant manifesto of a network of female artists against the oppressive political and social situation.<\/p>\n

Resistance against rising rents and housing shortages is the starting point of\u00a0\u201cEviction Songs\u201d. The songs are based on personal experiences, newspaper texts, critical essays, opinions and slogans of activist groups and squatters, but also passages from the position papers of large and internationally active housing associations.<\/p>\n

Zorka Wollny\u2019s compositions explore approaches to empathy, listening, and healing, and activate the body as an instrument, among other things: like her performances developed with her\u00a0band project\u00a0Psychedelic Choir, which are based on whispers, breathing sounds, and animal noises, they are related to the musical awakenings of female composers of the 1960s and 1970s, such as Joan La Barbara or Meredith Monk, and at the same time open up radically new terrain.<\/p>\n

Zorka Wollny\u00a0received the 2022 Art and Music Foundation Award for Dresden on the occasion of the foundation\u2019s 10th anniversary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The works shown in \u201eVoices\u201c were created in Bansk\u00e1 \u0160tiavnica, Istanbul, Hanover, Warsaw, Rio de Janeiro, Berlin, Mombasa, Kilifi and Dresden, among other places.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
