Agata Siniarska, Julia Plawgo & rat milk

Agata Siniarska is a Polish-born artist living in Berlin. She works in the field of expanded choreography. She places her practice between how we think about the world and how we move in it. It is a place where somatics and politics intersect - a place where body awareness meets social engagement - between somatic and ecological landscapes, between human and non- human bodies. Her work has been shown in various contexts across Europe. Agata's current research explores the idea of an Anthropocene museum, multi-species archives in times of war and extinction, and various human and non-human alliances. Agata lives in Berlin's Friedrichshain district with her dog Foka. She is a big fan of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which she started learning some time ago and enjoys very much.

Julia Plawgo works with dance and choreography as a survival strategy. She studied at the Berlin Inter-University Center for Dance, works mainly with friends, and her favorite pop songs are “Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)” by Crystal Waters and “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” by Kim Wilde.

rat milk - rumoured to having been among Christopher Columbus’s (better known as Krzysztof Kolumb) most favourite bands of all time, rat milk released their first official studio album „mus lac“ in 1349 as the public image of the Rattus progressively worsened due to the ongoing and rapid spread of the Black Death in Europe. It was not until 1963 that the band released their second studio album „John Fucking Kennedy“ in response to the assassination of the president of the United States of America after what is considered to be the longest artistic hiatus in the history of mankind. After repeatedly disbanding and reforming (as famously after Kurt Cobain’s suicide? in 1994) it is unclear whether or not any of the original rat milk members are active in the band today. Some consistency can be attributed the group since 2005, the year in which work on their third and most controversial studio album „Papamobile” began. Released in late 2006 the album explores the death of Pope John Paul II, commenting on and raising questions about the duties and privileges of a spiritual authority, the afterlife, abortion and women’s rights as a whole. As far as it is known rat milk are active to this day and currently reside in Berlin alongside their approximately 3 and a half million rat cousins. soundcloud.com/rat_milk
