Yota Tsotra`s work often navigates curatorial, conceptual, and social realms simultaneously. The collision of things or concepts which look very diverse or contradicting at a first sight has a central focus in Yota Tsotra`s work. What interests her is the new potentlial and strength that can be activated thought this collision and how our perspectives and imagination towards new realities can be empowered through it.

OFFSPACES sind Orte, an denen Kunstschaffende sich ausprobieren können. Sie unterscheiden sich von einer Galerie, da sie nicht kommerziell und unabhängig sind.
Es sind nonprofit Ausstellungsräume die oft in Künstlerateliers, zwischengenutzten Räumen oder in Privatwohnungen geführt werden. Betreiber sind meist selbst Künstler:innen, häufig auch Kunststudent:innen. Obwohl es sich hierbei um einen englischen Begriff handelt, wird Offspace vorwiegend im deutschen Sprachraum gebraucht; die eigentliche englische Entsprechung ist der „Artist-Run Space“oder „Alternative Space“.
