Saturday 22.11. 4–9 pm / Shedhalle

We will be accompanied by Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreira da Silva, whose work Reading with Echo is featured in the exhibition. The two artists are hosting a seminar of the same name this week and share their practice on saturday in the afternoon through a public reading, together with Lucie Tuma.

Reading with Echo is an experiment in collaborative creation that Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreira da Silva have been developing for the past six years. It has three components: the Reading Tools, the Study Group, and the Echo Seminars. In this collaborative experiment, Tarot, Reiki, and symbolic tools are converged to explore the inseparability of the political, ethical, and emotional dimensions of existence. Using these tools, they question and undo intra-structural, underlying assumptions of the psyche. While doing so, they listen to the archives of Shedhalle in order to find answers in this contemporary moment of violent political backlashes, asking how things could have turned out otherwise.
