Name Day is inspired by the European tradition where communities gather during particularly days of each year to celebrate particular groups of names. In Capovska’s exhibition she will not only be heralding her own name — a derivative of ‘Violet’ — but also that of other floral names: Iris, Jasmine, Rose, Ophelia and a plethora of others.
Capovska’s exhibition will deconstruct, and rebuild, the process of naming (and re-naming) and its paramountcy culturally, politically and individually.
