Together with sound artist Martin Clarke I’m participating in two artist residencies in the Caucasus this summer: at Art and Cultural Studies Laboratory in Yerevan, Armenia and Art Villa Garikula in Garikula, Georgia.

The trip is supported by the ‘STEP Beyond’ mobility fund of the European Cultural Foundation and Artquest. Keep updated about our Caucasian adventures on our residency blog.
