BIRD THERAPY:
In 4 phases of artistic exploration, examination and cross-sectioning of different enthological concepts of therapy, both ancient and contemporary, the exhibition space will transform throughout the day and provide a transcendental frame for visitors and Birds alike.

‘Paganistic Exploration’
Through objects, installation, drawings, video and recitation, the first phase will be an encounter with formerly ‘lost knowledge’. Profound earthly philosophies of therapy will be retrived and reflect on its modern scientific counterparts.
15:30 – 16:00
