How do encounters become paths—and how do these paths, crossing and intertwining, eventually lead to an exhibition?
We invite you to trace with us some of the organic routes that brought Tingling Earth🔥project to Künstler*innenhaus Dortmund: a small summit with herb cocktails, markers and paper, idea mapping, stories and conversations.
When did it all begin—a year ago, or perhaps a decade or maybe two earlier? Why do certain humans and more-than-humans come together, and through which coincidences, friendships, invitations, and shared experiences and questions? Who might still join us in the evening, adding another line to the map, another trace?
Curators and artists Yuri Yefanov, Vite Joksaite, Lex Rütten, Jana Kerima Stolzer and Natalia Matsenko invite you to sit down, share a story, draw a connection, follow a memory, or simply see where one encounter might lead to another.
