This event is part of Solidarity Treffen.

On selected days at 18:00 one minute of shouting for Belarus.
For the EU to hear, for Germany to hear, for the whole world to hear.
Out of solidarity and helplessness at the same time.

Jana Shostak is a Polish-Belarusian activist and intermedia artist who combines many different media in her artistic activity and works in the fields of performance, video art, internet art and others. She creates socially engaged art. Jana Shostak combines activist work and visual practice and is currently deeply involved in exhausting daily volunteer work. The artist’s activities on all three levels (artistic/activist/educational) are a reaction to the world we are living in. Jana Shostak’s treats her actions, although in the field of art, as a tool to demand political sanctions towards the Belarusian government, for example.

Jana Shostak is a resident of the Theatertreffen for the entire duration of the festival.
