Art practices/Urs

The Urs performance or situation is derived from the Islamic Sufi practice of a festival held at a grave on the death anniversary of a holy person.

Psychic workers have used the Urs and Anti-Urs performances:

Use of DesaKalaPatraGraph from Alytus. The original plan was to attach the DKPGraph to the memorial but in the end the letters were cut out and carried by participants as we circumvented the grave site memorial. This therefore created a new form of situograph or DKPGraph.
