Valentine, Kristi, and multidisciplinary visual artist Klara Siska sat down for a warm, connected conversation highlighting the critical need for each of us to trust and lean in to our gut, try new things, and cooperate openly within safe spaces. Klara, has been an instrumental founding member of the Art Connect Society community since its inception as the Mama Create Collective, co-organizing and taking part in many exhibitions, workshops, and collaborations over the years.
In this episode, we unpack the dynamic and freeflowing creative journey Klara embarked on in the Czech Republic that includes a painting practice, a graphic design business, performance art, jewelry production, Shamanistic teachings, music, and so much more! She opens up about her time in the Fine Arts Academy and how it shaped her in unexpected ways. Join us for a behind the scenes conversation among friends.
Klara studied Painting at SUPŠ in Uherské Hradiště and Performance Art at FaVU in Brno. Her collaborative project Brno Tiskne aims to create a space for experiments in graphic techniques and a place where we can lead others to their own creativity. She creates jewelry from brass, semi-precious stones at SHINEme minerals.
