TITO'S ANGELS

Full Throat [of cookies]

On the 10th of June, the day of the European Parliamentary elections, Tito's Angels gave away home baked Red Star Cookies to the passengers at Waterloo station, Eurostar terminal.

Taking the red star as a symbol of communism these ‘warriors’ are cheekily asking us to question the meaning of a star and its significance for the 'New Europe' - are all stars equal, or some are more equal then others?

Tito’s Angels is a collaboration between Margareta Kern, Belma Lugic and Suzana Tamamovic, three artists from the Former Yugoslavia. Now with a distance of a whole decade in their new surroundings Tito’s Angels are bringing their past and present together, merging ideology of their East European origins with imagery and iconography of the West.
