CDCD
Afternoon of Dialogues – Artist Talks, Seminar, Pop-up exhibition, Concert at Dobozi 21
On Sunday afternoon, February 8, different genres and ways of thinking drift into the same room and start to overlap. Four short artist presentations arrive from four corners of the world: Cyprus, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Chile. From there, the afternoon moves into a seminar led by Zoltán Ginelli, with a focus on critical geography and global history. The day then slips into an informal exhibition opening, and ends with a concert by El Kanász quartet.
DECOLONIAL BOTANICAL SONGBOOK – SOUND EXPLORATION WORKSHOP
What if plants could be listened to as carriers of memory?
What if the body became a resonant archive?
What if sound could hold stories of extraction, resistance, and care?
