“Ceramic World N.2”, 2021

Ritual of release for "What is Our Dream?", Helmhaus Zurich

Once the exhibition closed, and the series of performative exchanges “What is Our Dream?” therefore finished, something had to be done to release the 76 dreams that had been shared, invented and produced during those 17 performance sessions.
Upon conversations with some of the “dreamers”, as well as with curator and museum director Simon Maurer, we made a ritual of release in three acts letting them go into the air, water and fire.

Awarded the grant Covid-19 from the City of Zurich

I have received a production grant for the realization of the 6-month project “Weiss und Schwarz, Dinge und Rituale” (White and Black, Things and Rituals) in which I will work with performance and ceramics. The work gravitates around the concepts of togetherness and belonging. In it I will invite a group of migrant Spanish women in Switzerland to share and reinterpret their stories together.
