Embark on a transformative journey through the thought-provoking art of Paula Rego in this immersive series of performative workshops exploring the themes of power and surrender in a playful way. Through a combination of embodiment, play, reflection, and experimental activities, participants will deepen their own understanding of the concepts, narratives and the complexities of power dynamics and their impact, emotions, and the human psyche.
This interactive lecture offers an introduction to the concept of power and a playful exploration of this concept. A short 6-minute somatic breathing exercise will be introduced and offered, which can be done in pairs to consensually explore the dynamics, handling, and feeling of the complexity of power and its effects.
This English-language interactive talk will be held by Sharka Rey, a psychosomatic sex educator and performance artist from Basel. She studied psychology at the University of West London and is currently focusing on sexual culture, “epistemological disobedience,” and power dynamics as part of her Masters in Social Sciences at the University of Basel. With a further background in yoga, dance, experimental voice work, theater improvisation, BDSM, tantra and tao, her main interest lies in exploring “realness” in encounters (on and off stage), including its boundaries and limitations.
Cost is CHF 5, plus admission to the museum. Minimum age is 16 years. The event will take place in the Kunstmuseum Basel | Hauptbau Atelier.
