On Saying Goodbye w/ Raoni/Muzho Saleh

What writing comes from retracing our emotional landscape? How can embodied writing serve our processes of grief? In this workshop we will explore these urgent questions via simple writing tasks combined with embodied sound exercises in order to play with writing our feelings of grief. Through the sonic exercises we aim to learn to taste the textures of our affectedness. Through writing prompts we aim to turn the sonic tasting into text, into words that are in conversation with the gut.

about

Raoni/Muzho Saleh is a Hazara Afghan/Dutch artist using performance, installation and the sound of mourning moaning to twist and reshape narratives of (cultural) becoming. His work’s focus is to play with the personal, social and political peripheries as textures for the (un)making of self. Engaging the entanglement of body, spirit, politics and love within art through the use of materials such as movement, voice, text and textile, his works are temporary immersions, for both performers and the public, into otherworldly thinking, feeling and relating.
