FOREIGNER BODIES
How can experiments in coexistence with a context and its citizens contribute to dismantling the binary myth of the foreign versus the local? How, by insisting on the less comfortable and sensing the unfamiliar, can we expand the possibilities for engaging with diversity?
In collaboration with Fredericia Venligboerne: A movement that weights words and actions in the present regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, age and political affiliation. The subgroup of Venligboerne in Fredericia is related to refugee work. Foreigner Bodies is a workshop in Fredericia, Denmark (2017), where participants produced artistic and architectural experiments while engaging in a series of overnight stays at the homes of local citizens in the village.

INVISIBLE TALES
How does snowmelt and global warming impact an alpine village that has shaped its identity around winter sports and tourism?
Invisible Tales is a workshop, critically reflecting on the connection between profit-based tourism and the construction of local identity in an alpine village. Over two weeks in summer, a group of international students participated in a workshop analyzing the biography of a slalom ski pole, an object strongly related to winter alpine imagery. Through an exploration of the role of these objects in renegotiating the context, we engaged with alternative forms of relationships with Villars and its citizens.

MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO
How have exercise spaces changed since the mid-20th century? Following European thinkers' critique of their industrialization, this project explores the link between Catholic spaces and sports, examining how cultural changes impact bodies and everyday lives. Could sports culture operate like the Catholic Church? The research delves into sports under structures similar to the Church, engaging with the El Camino de Santiago pilgrimage to identify parallel mechanisms and analyze hidden biopolitics.

THE MIGRANT SAUNA
How imagining everyday universes in a participatory workshop could transform a mobile sauna pavilion into a migratory collective fiction within the city?
The Migrant Sauna emerges from a participatory workshop for students at HDK-Valand (Gothenburg, Sweden). Participants create characters that collectively shape the narrative of a mobile sauna pavilion, resulting in a collective fiction that migrates into the city. The project involves DIT and 'position-borrowing' methods to produce a space while discussing taboos and dismantling myths around the local and the foreign.

OLIVIA
After summer the boat stops, offering a temporary meeting point, between everyday narratives and idealized futures. During GIBCA Olivia stayed on land to facilitate a space for reflection between two worlds. It opened long enough to generate different routes, but short enough to dissolve them after.
