Creative Crossroads Residency
In Camilla Schielin's new research, the She Wolf serves as a carrier for her questions around presence, retreat and sensuality, and suckling as a means of establishing identity. She is a mythological fantasy and founding mother of a “Roman Empire” (here viewed more as a projection surface than actual antiquity), a somewhat esoteric archetype, but also interwoven with pop culture. A figure who transcends boundaries, she is not only flesh and instinct, but also hauntingly charged.
During her stay in Budapest she presents a showing:
1 May 2026,
18:00–19:00
