Workshop series: reclaiming ritual for the arts

19.07.-13.09.2023

In five workshop encounters I will share my findings and experience on rituals and their relevance for our time and for artists, as well as explore the topic practically and in dialogical exchange with the participants.

I believe that art as part of a whole cultural body is relevant to the health and integrity of that body. I believe that we cannot allow this body to continue to dissociate into fragments that supposedly function independently of each other. With my work, I want to contribute to disrupting the persistence of trauma patterns in European culture, and I also want to inspire other artists to engage with these questions in new ways.

Therefore, I now find myself exploring rituals as an art form in which art, activism, somatics, healing, transformation, and genuine connection can come together.
