The work of the artists, during the Art Residence, will be based on previously developed materials, which will represent different rituals – folk, religious, occult, etc. In essence, the ritual is an action, or series of actions, designed to achieve a particular goal. Тhe purpose of the ritual art is to stimulate the artist to create a work using the techniques of the ritual.
