The new installation of the „Paso“ and the veil of our performative intervention, the procession honoring the dead, on the anniversary day of the battle of Lepanto. On view until November 24th at Palazzo Bembo in Venice #kaidikhas #eriac
The Lepanto Paso
Luna De Rosa, Manolo Gómez, Moritz Pankok, Kálmán Várady, Miguel Ángel Vargas Rubio
Mixed Material, 2024
The object is relict of the performative street intervention of the artists commemorating the deaths of the Battle of Lepanto and also of discrimination and persecution since then. The intervention took shape of a street procession from Palazzo Bembo to the Church of San Giovanni e Paolo and was held on the 453th anniversary of the sea battle on October 7th, 2024. It ended with the recitation of a poem of the Senegalese author Birago Diop, „The Dead are not dead“ and the singing of a Gitano „Saeta“ by co-curator Miguel Angel Vargas Rubio. The sculpture of the Paso is made by Kálmán Várady, also his rowing oars were used. The Paso was carried by all the group serving as „costaleros“. Luna De Rosa has been leading the procession wearing her selfmade veil seen on the wall. The concept of the Paso is by Manolo Gómez. He also produced the paper flowers to honor „nuestros muertos“ - our dead.

CRUISING UTOPIA: Scenes from the Rome-Queer Imagination
‚Rrom Overdrive‘
lecture performance by Joy Charpentier
@le_la_joie
Ausgehend von seinen veröffentlichten Werken und im Rahmen ihrer Integration in die Sammlung Kai Dikhas gab der Künstler bei der Eröffnung eine kommentierte Lesung aus seinem Werk, eine Roma-Lektion für das Gadje.
Charpentier präsentierte eine fiktive autobiografische Geschichte, eine Konstellation von Identitäten und Kämpfen, die darauf abzielt, die kleine Geschichte in die große Geschichte zu bringen.
Das kulturelle Erbe der Zigeuner wurde Charpentier von seinem verstorbenen Vater und den Frauen seiner Familie in Wort und Tat weitergegeben: Es ist dieser Akt der mündlichen Überlieferung, den Charpentier durch eine Konferenz neu ausrichten möchte.

Based on his published works and as part of their integration into the Kai Dikha collection, the artist gave a commented reading from his work at the opening, a Roma lesson for the Gadje.
Charpentier presented a fictional autobiographical story, a constellation of identities and struggles that aims to bring the small story into the big story.
The cultural heritage of the Roma* was passed on to Charpentier in word and deed by his deceased father and the women of his family: It is this act of oral tradition that Charpentier wants to reorientate through a conference.
