Over the last year Mar has been engaged in establishing a platform for feminist queer entanglements, together with artist and researcher Malin Arnell, through the project “In Each Other’s Company”. Together they have also performed and organized participatory events at, among others, Titanik Gallery (FI), Amsterdam Spring Performance Festival (NL), Treignac Projet (FR), Academiae Biennale (IT) and recently curated the exhibition “Circuit Training – a retrospective in becoming.
