Agata Guńka, yourfriendkas yourfriendkas
yourfriendkas is a friend and artist based between Amsterdam and Almaty, with roots in Central Asia. They work with (access to) open/communal space; shared and decentralised knowledge; translocal solidarity; and the connection of direct action / resistance to art and cultural work. Their output usually consists of audio/visual experiences, writing, performance, publications, community building, and various reproductive/supportive involvements, such as helping out at Moira Expo communal space, Casco Art Institute, and an annual festival for activists and organisers.
yourfriendkas is one half of the Co/Living: Points of Entry project, together with Agata Guńka. yourfriendkas and Aga have decided to collaborate on their project through their shared interest in collective living.
Together with Haider Timur, yourfriendkas is also part of buulbuul, a lyrics and sound collective exploring poetic and musical concepts from homoerotic aspects in historical forms of the Persianate world, to modern-day pop songs in Central Asia.
