Who am I? And where can I participate? With Lerato Shadi
Today, on a cold June day, the performance artist Lerato Shadi comes to us in the Ephra floor. She is wearing a blue and black patterned top. But her favourite colour for work seems to be red! Red is simply the best colour for her artworks, she tells us. Because we associate it with the human body – but also with love or violence.

It smells like cloves and cinnamon in Julia Rüther's workshop. And there is a special reason for that. Julia teaches art students from the University of the Arts how to paint and make art in an environmentally friendly way.
