FISH
Slovak
multi-media artist Oto Hudec created his recent work in USA, South
Korea, Cabo Verde, Portugal and Slovakia. He creates videos, murals,
animations, sculptures and works for public spaces about immigration,
refugees and the impact of globalization on the environment. His
projects often involve utopic perspective as a way to shed a light on
food production, industrial landscape, or decline of bees. While
interested
in ecological living, food production and sustainability, instead of
searching for new scientific solutions, he is looking into how
nomadic and indigenous people achieved this. He often cooperates on
projects with children and youth from disadvantaged communities.
Since
2013 he works on on
the participative project with Roma
children
in
Slovakia
Projekt

Krajčová.PhD at the AFAD, Bratislava, Slovakia.
