DZiKADiVA (pl. "Wild Diva") sees itself as a lesbian bar and at the same time as a potential archive of lesbian visibility.
The project is dedicated to the diversity of lesbian identities in Poland and deals with questions of representation, memory and archival practice. As a space of possibility for previously marginalised history, DZiKADiVA opens up perspectives on hidden narratives and invites visitors to explore new forms of collective action and belonging.
The exhibition marks the conclusion of Karolina Sobel's Meister-student programme at the HGB and the result of a two-year research and project phase.
