FIBER Festival 2024 | Context Programme Day 2 | Careful Encounters

Sat Jun 1 | de Brakke Grond Careful Encounters – New Forms of Collectivity for Sharing Healing Experiences Speakers: Lou Drago & Camille Barton Moderator: Abdo Hassan With an ever-accelerating technological society, political and economic inequality and the extraction of value through (hidden) labour, bodies and senses are under constant pressure. In this panel, we examine how artists, musicians, and activists are practising the creation of temporary spaces of resistance, escape, and personal care. What artistic and embodied ways are there to deal with the asymmetric powers that impact, and hurt, various bodies? Is it possible to practise new forms of collectivity for sharing healing experiences? What role do embodied practices, sound and mind-expanded resources play in the creation of these spaces? Our guests introduce you into their work, and offer different insights in artistic strategies and opportunities for collective listening, feeling, and healing.
