      Venice biennale:
      Exercising
      Citizenship

      Using the body to create images that help participants to explore power relations and coexistence. The three-day workshop, where students used movement as a communication tool, was a platform for imagining our future society and exploring what citizenship means to us and how it influences our strategies of living together. 


    On Day 1, The Geometry of Citizenship, the participants explored citizenship through the spatial relationships we create in society. On Day 2, The Collective Body, exercises used physical experience to explore coexistence by creating collective body drawings based on body movement as a communication tool. On Day 3, the experience was publicly shared and discussed.
