Festering Wounds of Textile Ontologies
New Interfaces 04
Lecture series
Tuesday, 23.9.2025, 6pm
Medium Gallery
The lecture will explore the correlation of skins, lesions, touch, wounds, harm, and women's histories through a post-colonial lens. This approach will attend to the untreated wounds of textile ontologies. Textiles have a complicated history with womanhood, colonialism, and ecology. The lecture will begin to unpack this by zooming in on works of contemporary textile artists from all corners of the world.
Jelisaveta Rapaić is an artist, independent curator, researcher and educator from Belgrade (Serbia), based in Bratislava (Slovakia). She holds a bachelor of textile design from the Faculty of Applied Arts, in Belgrade (2019) and a Master’s in Intermedia from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava (2021), where she is currently a candidate for a PhD in Art Theory with a research topic Feminist interpretations in contemporary textile and fiber art.

The leitmotif of the fourth edition of the lecture series New Interfaces 04 is the body and physicality in the age of digital technologies. We are interested in the themes of corporeality, but also the sublimation of the corporeal in digital interfaces, non-normative bodies, the animality of corporeality or the memory of the body, which artists discuss in their works in various media and forms.
The lecture will be held in English.
Supported using public funding by Slovak Arts Council.
