Author Biography

  • Indrė Liškauskaitė

    Indrė Liškauskaitė is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Vilnius, Lithuania. With her non-human collaborators and companions, poodle Delta and border collie Delfina, she is researching how playing with a dog(s) can become an artistic practice as well as a method to create collaborative art pieces. Indrė has a background in painting and textile studies. Currently, she is pursuing a doctoral degree at Vilnius Academy of Arts. Her works include drawings, mapping, writing, textile, sound and video pieces, also sculptural installations made of the artifacts of the companionship - dog toys, leashes, sticks, chewed sketches and other findings. She became an agility athlete with her two dogs after reading Donna Haraway's When Species Meet. Liškauskaitė ironically portrays human and human behavior in order to take a deeper look into social, cultural and philosophical constructions that shape the inter-spieces encounters.
