Daina Pupkevičiūtė produces sound, performance and text and researches human relationships with non-humans in the context of climate breakdown. Questions of sustainability and responsibility, body and politics, borders and limits are important to her. She is certain that art, as one among other forms of relationship-making, is never neutral.
