BERLIN, S&T RESIDENCY, ARCHIVE
“Soaking Wet” is a participatory performance by former resident Hana Ćurak, in collaboration with the artist Bojan Stojčić, both hailing from Sarajevo. “Soaking Wet” addresses fermentation as a means of healing social ills, in which participants are invited to engage in a traditional ritual of foot-soaking known in Bosnian as kiseljenje nogu (foot pickling). Dipping the feet in a simple mixture of water and bath salts, the working people of Bosnia take it slowly and add a bit of rahatluk* to each foot soak. Choose your salt, dip your feet, and scrub-a-dub-away while our masters of ceremony tell you all about the geopolitics of pickling.
The event was supported by ifa in the framework of Hana Ćurak's residency at Slavs and Tatars.
