ANAHIT - the relationship between sediment and residue, geographies inscribed in the body, looking at vibration as a method.
Linking the research begun with Գիշեր | gisher to the work of re-narration of somatic geographies that has been conducted for years in the context of Pleasure Body, Giorgia designs with ANAHIT a solo for their own body, a constellation, a format that oscillates between language, movement and soundscape. ANAHIT is the Armenian divinity that protects water and all fluid beings.
Giorgia Ohanesian Nardin is an Italian artist of Armenian descent working in the contexts of dance and live performance.
Trained in dance, their work exists in the shape of movement video text choreography sound gatherings and deals with the relationship between dancing, divination and writing; with geography and the opposite of belonging; with a fetish for language, its politics and its many frictions. They began making work in 2010 in collaboration with artists Marco D’Agostin and Francesca Foscarini, with whom they founded Associazione Culturale VAN (2014).
Since 2018, Giorgia periodically holds Pleasure Body, a space for facilitating practices and conversations associated with pleasure and rest, questioning the narrations around labors of care and hosting critical thinking around words like well-being, health, healing, recovery.
As an independent writer and poet, Giorgia’s work has been included in L’Ano Solare - a year long programme of sex and self display (axis axis editions), curated by Il Colorificio.
They hold an ongoing writing/thinking practice with London - based artist Jamila Johnson-Small, with whom they have curated several events that focus on holding/facilitating/questioning space as/for subaltern subjectivities in institutional contexts. Their work is produced and supported by, amongst others: Associazione Culturale VAN, VIERNULVIER, Centrale Fies Art Work Space, AtelierSi, BASE Milano, Lavanderia a Vapore, Milano Mediterranea ميلانو المتوسّطيةّ.
