Workshop mit dem KitchenSProsper Kollektiv, special guest: Decolonial Joy im Rahmen der Ausstellung A Quiet Storm Blowin’ by Soñ Gweha im Kunstraum Niederösterreich.

In this three hour long workshop, the collective KitchensProsper alongside their special guest DecolonialJoy, invite BIPOC artists and cultural workers in Vienna to collectively explore what they refer to as care intermissions.  Referring to the central question that moved their offering, Soñ Gweha invites them to engage with the following inquiry: how to keep blowin’ in a time of ecological and colonial warfare?

During this workshop, they thus propose a triade of ritualized body-centered sensuous-storming experience, where they will curate a space in suspension offering preventive body resilience & resistance care practices to uncover how we can prepare our bodies to enter into the institution. 

The workshop will bring together individual as well as collective practices including meditation, self-massage, self reflection in form of freewriting and group discussion with the aim to create a “Care Protocol” as a hands-on reflexive strategy of self and collective accountability to ensure the sustainability of our bodily awareness as a counter-hegemonic tool of self-preservation.
