Young Polish artist Alina Śmietana has been invited to attend from 11 September 2023 an advanced training session following her participation in the Squeeze It competition, to which she submitted her video project “Chew on it”.
The performer will have the opportunity to attend a dedicated masterclass at the Trieste Contemporanea premises, where she will be able to improve and analyse the technical aspects of her video work, as well as find new inspiration by discussing with Vladimir Nikolić and Francesco Scarel in an environment of research and study on visual art and theatrical and multimedia performance, of encounter and exchange characterised by the presence of artists and creative people from Central and Eastern European countries.

In 2022 Nikolić represented the Republic of Serbia at the 59th Venice Biennale.
