With DZiKADiVA ("the wild diva"), artist Karolina Sobel opens up a fictitious space, an imaginary lesbian bar that also functions as an artistic archive. The project examines the diversity of lesbian identities in Poland and focuses on questions of visibility, representation and memory. DZiKADiVA is more than a place of fiction, it is a space of possibility for previously invisible stories.
Karolina Sobel is a visual artist specialising in artistic photography and is currently a master student of Prof. Dr Ines Schaber.
Her work deals with marginalised identities and queer narratives. DZiKADiVA combines documentary research with fictional setting, an invitation to rethink lesbian history(ies) and make them publicly accessible.
