Without you I wouldn’t, with you all I would p2p

Has a stone ever brought you comfort? Have you ever found solace in watching the waves of the sea? Did the image of drifting clouds ever mean to make you feel the same way?

In a two-day zine workshop we will explore solace as a more-than-human concept and as an essential step towards resilience and hope. By using collective drawing and writing as methodologies to cross, merge, and queer individual storylines, we aim to weave a net of multiple voices – blurring the lines between individual positions,making them indistinguishable. Together we will read text fragments, experiment with different forms of text and authorship as well as intuitive and associative drawing.

Through exercises, fragments of image and text will take shape, which we collectively arrange and connect, until they come together as a new, coherent fabric. After the workshop you will receive a copy of the publication.

Please bring an object* that you associate with solace.
*Open interpretation of what an object is.

The workshop is led by Kaja Meyer and Charlotte Perka.

Kaja Meyer’s (born in Denmark, based in Hamburg) praxis takes place in the sensations of becoming and undoing, how, in the context of each other, entities - such as individuals, animals, different components of nature, colours, shapes -  change and form, react to one another. Dreams, ideas, longings come together through intuitive processes in her drawings and paintings. Joy and curiosity are present in her work, both as method and as topic.

Charlotte Perka is an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of self-organised care structures and collective knowledge production. She creates formats such as workshops, performative dinners, temporary feminist libraries, and summer schools to explore how practices of caring, hosting, and listening can shape learning environments that actively engage emotions in the process. Within these settings, she develops texts as well as textile objects that are collectively transformed in the process – becoming both tools and carriers of shared experience.

This workshop is part of the exhibition String Theory String Practice, which takes place from 13th to 30th of November.
This exhibition is curated and organized by Litha Sabelfeld as part of the Kunstraum.p2p format.
