Wintering is a practice I observed and admired as a child, leaving me with endearing memories of basements being coloured by jars of preserves – preparing for the sparse and uncertain times of colder seasons.
The jars hold the recipes and advice given to you by older women in your life, the knowledge passed down to you, their hope that it doesn’t disappear with them. They contain and display your thoughts, your undiscussed fears, your fading memories; staying on shelves, in cupboards or boxes until you need them, until you hand them to a neighbour, to a friend, to a stranger, or maybe to someone visiting your show.
The exhibition places importance on the way knowledge is passed down within families, the preservation of fading distant memories and highlights the urgency of now.
Kristina Nenova is a Bulgarian Artist currently based in South Leeds. She is making work around the anxieties and changes to the act of passing down traditions, family belongings and memories in the context of migration and queerness.
