Anca Benera & Arnold Estefán. Rehearsals for Peace. Jun 10, 2023 – Aug 6, 2023. At n.b.k Berlin.

SAVA Creative Fellows and artists Anca Benera and Arnold Estefan will have their exhibition ‘Rehearsals for Peace’ at n.b.k Berlin.

Opening on 9th June, it is their first ever solo exhibition in Germany. It explores the absurdities of warfare and the militarization of nature and examines the paradoxical dynamics between military readiness, simulated operations, and the desire for peace. The artists’ recent research focuses on ecological issues such as extractivism, which is also our project’s annual research theme, and the overexploitation of natural resources. The video Rehearsals for Peace (2023) – co-produced by the n.b.k. Video-Forum – draws on various folk traditions for warding off evil spirits. Rehearsals for Peace will be shown for the first time, as part of a site-specific installation and together with Perpetual Harvest (2023), a series of woven straw sculptures that recall an ancient harvest ritual accompanying the seasonal rhythm of wheat cultivation.

Curated by Krisztina Hunya and Diana Marincu, the exhibition is viewable from 10th June to 6th August, 2023 at n.b.k Berlin. Link: n.b.k. – Anca Benera & Arnold Estefán (nbk.org)
