Artists’ Entrance: Joshua Serafin

In Artists’ Entrance, we ask artists about their life and work. Today: Joshua Serafin. Born in the Philippines, trained at P.A.R.T.S. and KASK in Belgium, Joshua is now based in Brussels and a house artist at Viernulvier. Their work spans dance, performance, visual arts, and choreography. Recent pieces include Timawo, VOID, and PEARLS — all part of their ongoing series Cosmological Gangbang, an exploration of queerness, spirituality, indigeneity, and ecology.

SANCTA – Florentina Holzinger

Hot for God

Roller-skating nuns, a chain-vaping Jesus rapping Eminem, live piercings and a pregnant cardinal: Florentina Holzinger arrived in Antwerp trailing fainted audience members, an outraged bishop and lots of headlines. Her operatic mass is indeed excessive, chaotic and deliberately shocking. But Holzinger is not out to get you, she wants to take you along. For all its provocation and even if, at times, it feels the pressure to spell everything out, SANCTA is steeped in a surprising tenderness.

Notes towards understanding theatre-making in Thailand

What does theater in Thailand look like? For artist, curator, and festival director Sasapin Siriwanij, it’s a question that constantly keeps her mind spinning. You don’t talk about contemporary performance art in Thailand using the same language you would use in the Global North. For independent artists, there is virtually no funding, no well-equipped infrastructure, and no government support. But despite the endless cycle of exhaustion, a mysterious faith in and joy for art remains, she writes in her first column.

Spelen op het veld voor het veld / Playing on the Field, for the Field

In Double Take gaan twee Etcetera-auteurs naar een voorstelling en schrijven ze elkaar in het zog ervan een brief. Alina Savitskaya en Ugnė Noreikė schrijven elkaar na M.O.L. over aardappelen, integratie en de vraag of het cultuurveld bereid is zijn handen vuil te maken. “De patat die ik op het einde vasthield, woog zwaarder dan haar speech.” // In Double Take, two Etcetera authors attend a performance and write each other a letter in its wake. Alina Savitskaya and Ugnė Noreikė write to each other after M.O.L. about potatoes, integration, and whether the cultural sector is willing to get its hands dirty. “The potato I held at the end had more weight than her speech.”
