Artist: Kremena Todorova & Kurt Gohde | Location: Lexington, KY
Lexington, KY
Kurt Gohde and Kremena Todorova’s works examine socio-political issues and questions of identity and place. With the Lexington Tattoo Project—a public artwork that placed the words of a poem as permanent tattoos on the bodies of 253 Lexingtonians—Kurt and Kremena started a global movement, uniting people one tattoo at a time. Love Letter To the World is the latest in their series of tattoo projects.
Kurt and Kremena’s most recent artwork, Unlearn Fear + Hate, addresses growing American tensions around racism and nationality. The words “unlearn fear and hate” come from a commissioned poem by Frank X Walker, Kentucky’s first African American Poet Laureate. The artists have used the phrase in local, national, and international contexts through a variety of participatory sculptural installations, photographs, and stencils.
Kurt and Kremena have exhibited their work in Los Angeles, San Antonio, Boulder, Bourgas (Bulgaria), and Cape Town (South Africa), among others.
