Army of the Individual is the motto of the Malta Festival Poznań Idiom (the Festival will take place between 21 and 30 June 2019) and the title of the Festival Curator’s project. To create this audiovisual happening, Nástio Mosquito needs footage of your child’s birth. You can submit your recording starting now.

Nástio Mosquito is one of the most expressive and charismatic performance and visual artists of the thirty-plus generation. The Malta Festival, where he is curating the Festival Idiom, is going to feature the first presentation of his work in Poland. In Poznań, Nástio Mosquito will show two of his projects. One of them is Army of the Individual, an audiovisual collage which will officially open this year’s Idiom.

Nástio Mosquito refers to his project as a ‘simple gesture’. The main concept is to show that birth is an act which involves all people equally, and that only later are they affected by external circumstances. ‘Every single human being, no matter where this human being has been born, deserves dignity,’ says Nástio Mosquito in a video where he asks people to submit recordings of the moment their children are born. Nástio Mosquito’s eight-minute video will feature fragments of the submitted recordings and will pay homage to human dignity. Watch the video:



On behalf of Nástio Mosquito, we ask you to take part in the project and to submit your recording of your child’s birth. To submit your footage, please go to www.armyoftheindividual.com and use the special panel (the button to transfer you to the subsite for uploading your video is on the righthand side of the site). The site also features a detailed description of the project, an interview with Nástio Mosquito and the project terms and conditions. The deadline for submissions is 30 April, 11:59 pm. If you have any questions, please post them to contact@armyoftheindividual.com.

The happening will take place on 22 June at 8:30 pm, during Malta Festival Poznań. The video will be shown only once: in Poznań (at one of the festival venues) and simultaneously online and on numerous screens in Poland and abroad.
