Zara Gayk
Zara Gayk lives and works as a video and digital artist in Wuppertal. In her artistic work, she combines digital imagery with music and movement and is active in various areas of the independent cultural scene, including TANZRAUSCHEN and INSEL, a cultural center in the heart of downtown Wuppertal.
For INSEL NEOtango Milonga and INSEL Tango Club, she develops large-format visual works that accompany the dance and create a dense atmospheric connection between space, music, and movement. Her visuals are less a backdrop than independent image spaces that correspond with the dance.
For many years, she has been engaged in translating music and dance experiences into digital painting and moving images. This ongoing artistic process continually gives rise to new image and film formats, which she makes accessible to audiences in various performance contexts.

Exhibition: TANGO & ART
During the Tango Festival RheinRuhr, the Kunsthaus Popescu (www.khp-ateliers.de) presents the exhibition “TANGO & ART”. Festival visitors can view (and purchase) a wide selection of works that artistically explore the themes of tango, Argentina and Latin America.
The KHP from Düsseldorf has specialized in the topics of South America and tango for years and has established, among other things, the ARS TANGO exhibition series in recent years. We are pleased that we were able to convince the KHP to organize such a diverse art exhibition for our festival visitors.
