In The Dream House is a self-care workshop series set within a beautiful, temporary, house-like installation at the Humboldt Forum.\u00a0Conceived especially for the Themedays, it explores self-care and care work as responses e.g. to domestic chaos. It offers short and open-format workshops on ancestral healing and care for caretakers and careworkers, among other themes. The workshops are conceived of and led by artist and experienced workshop facilitator Anguezomo Bikoro (Gabon\/Germany) as well as artist and Yogi Nane Kahle (Senegal\/Germany).<\/p>\n

In The Dream House<\/em>\u00a0(2023\u2013) is a continuous workshop and installation-project open to everyone. It is focused on practices of de-traumatization through somatic, holistic, and spiritual healing methods originally used for people, who have been exposed to institutional and domestic abuse. The artist builds intersectional healing practices informed by certifications in herbalism and decolonial therapy, studied in London, the U.S., and Berlin. Forms of bodywork such as tap therapy, EMDR, sonic healing, medicinal therapy, herbalism, decolonial yoga, and Obeah ritual are used as guides to develop pathways toward a sustainable life of inner peace.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the novels\u00a0In the Dream House<\/em>\u00a0by Carmen Maria Machado, the project combines a series of interventions and invocations \u2014 including installations, live rituals, mobile archive libraries, reading groups, workshops, public talks, film screenings, and radio shows \u2014 to support those affected by toxic cycles.<\/p>\n

The project is realized in collaboration with human rights organizations, lawyers, activists, therapists, artists and social workers. Contributors include: International Women Space, Ausland, ECCHR, Nane Kahle, Lee Modupeh Anansi Freeman, Mitolili, Adrian Marie Blount, Bino Byansi Byakuleka, Care, Kunstquartier Bethanien, Tempelhof LGBTQ Police Department, Les Migras, and Refuge Worldwide.<\/p>\n

On October 3 and 4, four workshops will take place each day at the Humboldt Forum.
\nRegistration is recommended to secure a spot (different topics and time slots).
\nLimited drop-in participation is possible. The installation can be viewed at any time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
