{Live} – Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art

Join us on 20 August 2025 for the first meeting with Natalia Vatsadze – artist, activist, and independent curator, co-founder and member of the performative Bouillon Group, who works in Tbilisi, Georgia. 

• In her practice, centred on the body, she comments on and critically examines the social, political, and cultural processes that have shaped Georgia as an independent state in recent years – with a noticeable sense of distance and a pinch of cynical humour. 

{Live}

• Every week, we meet live with artists to talk about art: creative processes, works, and current experiences. 

• We host both artists who have previously taken part in Ujazdowski Castle’s programme and those making their debut. In this series, we would like to focus on individual approaches and artistic practices. 

• Why take part? 
  • In times of tensions and crises, thinking and talking together about contemporary art – which responds to today’s challenges in unconventional ways – helps strengthen social resilience. Art is not only the object – just as important are the process, the thinking, the emotions, and the relationships that accompany it. The meetings offer a closer look at how art is created and, most importantly, who creates it. 
    • The meetings are open to everyone, from people working professionally in culture and art, to those who are curious about artists and their work, or simply want to talk about art. 
  • The events will be recorded for archival purposes, and the recordings will be made available online through the Mediateka.
