Blue Republic is a collaboration of Anna Passakas and Radoslaw Kudlinski. The group initiated and was involved in numerous research projects, presentations and exhibitions in Canada and internationally. Blue Republic cooperates with other artists, art groups and centres of independent artistic research around the world.
