Beate Poikāne

Beate Poikāne is a visual artist, theatre-maker, and scenographer from Riga, Latvia. Her artistic explorations manifest in various forms at the intersection of visual art and contemporary performing arts. Through methods of worlding and speculative storytelling, she crafts self-performing environments and performances with nuanced visuality. The artworks contain a conversation with actants and non-human performers in shifting hierarchies in an expanded post-human ensemble where the body is in dynamic with spaces, sequences of sculptural elements, and technology. It is an exploration of how imagination relates to space, investigating how the ideas of fictional worlds are interconnected with embodied experiences. Her process is informed by the observations of Latvian post-socialist landscapes of contradictions and socio-economic complexities, lately she issues searching for ways to implement the regional specifics in the character and set build-up, morphing spaces with bodies. Outcomes question the liminality between fantasy and the potential for imagination to become a tool for reshaping existing relationalities and create new belongings. Beate mainly works in mediums of theatre, performance installation and video.

Audiovisual artistic methods, geoscientific experiments and ethnographic fieldwork constitute the primary methods of the postdisciplinary and intraspecies research collaboration between media artists, economic sociologists, geoscientists and marine fungi.
