Her second feature-length film El rostro de la Medusa<\/em> recounts the story of a young teacher whose face begins to change beyond recognition. The face and eyes typically denote the identity of a living being, with a few exceptions in the animal kingdom, such as jellyfish, which have no real faces. How should she react to the change? Should she just continue on with her old life? Isolate herself from the world? Or build a completely new identity?<\/p>\n Nominated by the University of Theater and Film Arts, Budapest<\/p>\n The Hungarian artist completed her bachelor’s degree on the topic of \u201cPhallocracy and Female Narrative Voices\u201d in the summer of 2019 and received an Erasmus scholarship to visit the Art Academy in Catania, Sicily.

Her mourning is reflected in the torn country.<\/p>\n Nominated by the Oslo National Academy of the Arts<\/p>\n Both members of the Swedish art duo\u2014Karin Keisu (born in 1995) and Josse Thuresson (born in 1992)\u2014graduated from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts.

Their new project, My tongue is a 10 cm long Swedish flag<\/em>, consists of two parts. The first is based on found footage and examines the connection between contempo-rary patterns of speech and a historical strengthening of right-wing nationalism. The second part deals with the authority of colloquial language over that of minority groups whose own forms of communication\u2014whether their mother tongue or sign language\u2014are systematically suppressed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BURAK \u00c7EVIK Nominated by Istanbul Bilgi University Born in 1993 in Istanbul, \u00c7evik studied film at the Istanbul Bilgi University.
