The presence of our place: The introductory workshop will draw lines between the participants, their practices, and our mutual surroundings during the Travers-week, the architecture of Dokk1. How are we shaped by our physical and symbolic environment, and how do we actively shape it?

Thursday 9 May and Friday 10 May – Walk and Talk
Hosts: interdisciplinary artists Margrét Bjarndóttir and Lola Arias (as a guest on Friday)
The presence of your body: Every body is an endless well of movements. In the workshop, we do not direct, we do not take decisions – but we listen to our currents and the weather that is going on inside us at the moment. And then we just follow it.
