Occasional live performance by Performance group Animist
Volume UP!: A new generation of artists, spectators, and performers in search of their own mindset and safe social space.
Volume UP! is a creative source of energy, the road to understanding the generation that has the desire to change the balance of power through direct intervention in reality - giving more importance to creation and participation.
Going deeper into subjects to find the common thread between performers and spectators, they veered toward extremes to provoke themselves (and their audience) to confront social norms by giving themselves to mental and visual ways of participation.
This is an ongoing reflection of a generation alarmed by the rise of a new puritan social movement that sharply restricts the freedom of individuals.

His music is often a looped blend of his voice and a variety of instruments including piano, guitar, jaw harp, didgeridoo, accordion, jembe, etc.He also does a variety of visual work, including graphics, painting, and mixed media sculpting.

Irita Tilane
Irita Tilane-Pakalnina was born in 1980 / Latvia. In 2014 she moved to Italy, where she studied ceramics. Irita's artistic background is based on fashion design. Yet, in her works Irita explores interdisciplinary manifestations in various disciplines of visual and applied art. So far, Irita has gained twenty years work experience throughout the projects in fashion concept development, illustrations, tattoo art and interior design. Irita always challenges herself to search for new sources of inspiration and experimentation. Irita's paintings, drawings and sculptures present a world where frivolous reality goes hand in hand with the unreal, imaginary and metaphysical. Recently Irita has turned to performance art with several solo and group projects. She is the author and leader of performance collective ANIMIST.
