With A Hint Of
Cinnamon
‘Under the Skin’ by Sofya Dushkina
October 6 - 19 | 20:00 I Listastofan, Hringbraut 119 | Admission: Free!
Have you ever tried a “Mayan mocha?” It’s a hot chocolate
brewed with cinnamon and other spices. Listastofan isn’t
serving hot chocolates, but it is harboring something just as
warm and enchanting with Sofya Dushkin’s “Under the Skin”
exhibition. Sofya is a Siberian illustrator and graphic designer
who incorporates her interpretations of human problems and
feelings into uniquely designed mythological scenes. Her work
is inspired by Native Central American and Mayan culture.
Strange characters dance around her pages in a decorative,
folkloric style. Sounds tasty, huh? JP/SS

tograph of “Dovima with Elephants” in a Dior evening dress...
