"IN THE EYES OF" EP.11 KRISTINA BORG - ART EXPLORA CROSSED-RESIDENCY PROGRAMME

Dive into the universe of Kristina Borg in this new episode of our series “In The Eyes Of.” The artist, originally from Malta, develops a socially engaged and participatory artistic practice based on conversation, walking, and immersion in the local context. Her approach, which is not oriented toward the creation of a final object, is shaped by the site itself and its social, historical, and political dimensions. In Rijeka, where she is in residence as part of the Art Explora cross-residency program, she explores the connections between water, movement, and women. By observing how water flows through and envelops bodies, she examines its nourishing and protective functions, as well as the idea of adaptability often associated with women. This fluidity becomes a way to question what it truly means to “adapt” and what is at stake when one chooses not to conform to a patriarchal system. To understand the city, Kristina chose to follow the water: the sea, canals, river, underground springs, and mountain waters. These flows reveal a city where water is omnipresent yet sometimes difficult to access, almost forbidden. On small, discreet beaches, she finds a space to observe colors and movements and to reflect with the water. There, an essential idea resonates: we are water, and it is water that brings us back to our origins.
