Nikola Lutz, professor of saxophone at the HMDK and Kalesnikava's colleague in the Stuttgarter Kollektiv für aktuelle Musik e.V., has been working continuously since Kalesnikava's arrest to keep her memory alive. The HMDK Stuttgart has now had two showcases designed by Prof. Nikola Lutz, which represent Kalesnikava's fate on the premises of the HMDK and bring it to the attention of future generations.
The installation also allows students to interactively engage with Maria Kalesnikava, her courage and her fate. During the interdisciplinary project week with the ABK Stuttgart under the direction of Prof. Nikola Lutz and Prof. Britta Wirthmüller, artistic contributions will be developed. The already existing petition “Freedom for Maria Kalesnikava #FreeMaria”, which already has more than 56.000 signatures, will also be brought back to the center of attention:
At the opening of the exhibition, Nikola Lutz, together with the Chilean musicians Lukax Santana and César Bernal, will present excerpts from the program “zek #3”, which deals with texts by Maxim Znak, who as Kalesnikava's lawyer was also sentenced to 12 years in prison.
