About the Artists
Antonio Jose Guzman (b. 1971, Panama) & Iva Jankovic (b. 1979, Serbia) are artists based in the Netherlands. Drawing from a wide range of musical traditions, their soundscapes evoke the emotional weight of displacement and cultural belonging. Antonio Jose Guzman and Iva Jankovic create works that merge historical narratives with contemporary global issues, using indigo textiles, sound, and live performances to address themes of colonialism, migration and cultural exchange that evokes a global connection between the Black Atlantic. Their practice is centered around the indigo dye, an ancient and sacred material with complex colonial ties, used as a lens through which they explore the transatlantic slave trade and the movement of people and knowledge across continents.
