ÖZIÑSHE — a group exhibition of Kazakh artists at Motto Paris. Curated by Yana Kotina and Vladislav Sludskiy, the one-room presentation offers a snapshot of Kazakhstan’s contemporary art now: painting, textiles, and lens-based works moving between oral tradition, fragile memory, and the push–pull of urban life and ideology. Sparked by the recent openings of the Almaty Museum of Arts and the Tselinny Center, the show links Paris and Almaty through direct, conversational juxtapositions rather than a single theme.

Featuring: Ada, Ambujerba, KOKONJA, Lyazzat Khanim, Marat Dilman, Meruyert Kunakova, Kuanysh (Kuba) Bazargaliyev, Sayan Baigaliyev, and Saule Suleimenova.

Dates: 20–26 October 2025

Passing: Re II
Martina Jurak + Stefanie Loveday

Performance at Motto Berlin
20.09.2025, 8pm

Re II is the next part of an audio-dance performative cycle titled Passing, created by Martina Jurak, that discloses urban developments through exploration of enormous construction sites which expand across Berlin.
The piece will present a sound collaboration with Stefanie Loveday that focuses on newly built parts of the controversial A100 highway. Both artists find the newly opened 16th and the planned 17th construction phase problematic from an ecological, political, and economic perspective, and have used it to gather their multi-formed creative material.
Urban research will be shown as performative installation with found objects, butoh inspired movement, and electro-acoustic sound, to question the processes of the ongoing spatial changes.

Come join our re-constructed space on Saturday, 20.09.2025 at 20:00 at Motto Berlin
