STÖRFAKTOR#04

In the winter semester of 2024, the equality department at the Karlsruhe Art Academy launched its own event format: STÖRFAKTOR. Now the fourth edition follows with STÖRFAKTOR #04.
 
Kavachi will be our next guest on Thursday, November 21st at 7:00 p.m. His performative appearance is titled:

»A Rainbow through the Eye of a Needle«
 
Kavachi, born in 1989 in Turkey, is an artist living and working in Grub am Forst, a village located between two hills in Oberfranken. In 2018, he received an MFA in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies from Bauhaus Universität Weimar. He is interested in the performative and emotional aspects of everyday life, often drawing from personal experiences. Kavachi collects textiles from friends, family, and their networks, integrating these materials into his work to create new narratives.
 
In his upcoming performance, he invites the audience to join him in pushing threads of different colors through the eye of a needle together. Later, he will present his works, focusing on themes of community, labor, migration, and queer identity. At the end of his talk, he will read a passage from the book Too Loud a Solitude by Bohumil Hrabal. The session will conclude with an open discussion.
 
His works have been shown in several exhibitions and festivals, including Spielart Festival in Munich, DE (2023); Nature and State at Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, DE (2022); 6th Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art, Thinking Hands Touching Each Otherin Ekaterinburg, RU (2021);Charlottenborg Spring Exhibitionat Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen, DK (2019); Thessaloniki Queer Art Festival Marathon Open Air Screening at LABattoir in Thessaloniki, GR (2019); Imaginary Bauhaus Museum at Schiller Museum in Weimar, DE (2019); Immer Ärger mit den Großeltern at Kunsthaus Dresden, DE (2018); and Desintegriert Euch! at 3rd Berliner Herbstsalon in Kronprinzenpalais, Berlin, DE (2018).
