RE
BUILD
to re-connect
June, Amsterdam 2020.
Collective indoor art event to reconstruct the way of how we can re-connect with people during and after times of social disability, uncertainty and fear of physical touch. It is based on togetherness, and body-mind awareness grounded in the materiality of clay.
-
During JUNE 2020, 53 citizens of Amsterdam accepted my invitation to meet online and build with clay their new BRAIN Salad Bowl.
-
The project was a total success. Despite the physical distance, the fact of making together and touching the same material at the same time gave us a the space for empathy and togetherness; as a result a special bond was created, and that's what makes the project a success!
-
This event was granted by AFK and clay sponsored by Keramikos Center. It was totally free of cost for all participants.
