We don't necessarily follow what is so called professional standards and rather try to cultivate an abolitionist approach to creation instead of limit ourselfs by demands from outside.

Kandis und Maus is a German-Lithuanian artist duo that has been working together and are friends since 2020 in Berlin and Offenbach am Main.
