ACC - Festival 2012 - Herakut

Herakut is a two-person team from Germany, Jasmin Siddiqui, also known as “Hera” and Falk Lehman, known as “Akut”. Herakut’s creative art process is sensuous and wild. This remarkable and powerful duo create imaginary worlds and inspiring characters. 

There is a pictorial and textual component to their art pieces. The short quotes, passages or descriptions written next to the figures are references to the character’s life. 

Entitled “El pasado puede ser un regalo para el futuro”, this mural is the result of several conversations the artists, Hera and Akut, had with passerbys. Hera captured the concern older generations have towards the lack of interest shown by kids towards their past, which they view as a cultural malaise.
