Dante Buu

In an artistic career ranging from video, film, photography and performance to embroidery and text, Dante Buu’s central issues are love, resistance and intimacy. Born in Montenegro, Buu is currently an artist-in-residence at Künstlerhaus Bethanien. His work blurs the boundaries between the private and the public sphere and addresses the sociocultural alienation present in our societies. In an intimate quest of resistance and subversion, Buu questions and challenges gender roles and stereotypes that are set up by mechanisms of power. As a storyteller and performer, he intertwines his own life story with the untold stories of others and uses his artistic practice as a vehicle for resistance against the marginalisation and invisibility of minority groups.
