Dani Bershan

Listening to your body is something we all think is important. But have you ever listened to your gut? According to Dani Bershan and her crew, there are answers there to questions we're all chewing on. About the eco-bio-psycho-social crisis, for example.

Living in a time where definitions of health and disease are distorted to an extent that leaves most of us feeling confused, overwhelmed, isolated, disconnected and angry, this symposium aims to take a deep dive into our collective predicament through co-sensing with GUT MATTERS, aiming to expand our metabolic literacies. The gut, guardian of our immune system, host of our intuition and site of awe-inspiring complex ecologies blurs the boundaries between what we call our body and what we call the world. In this symposium, Dani Bershan and invited guests Sarah Amsler, Dani d’Emilia, Irena Radmanovic and Red Vaughan Tremmel will bring together findings from their respective and multilayered fields of practice: performance, queer etymology, decolonial studies, eco-poetics, body/land somatic work, microbiology/mycology and history and queer studies to take a closer look at metabolisms together.

Come and spend a full experiential and experimental journey with us including conversations, somatic experiences, lectures, poetry, immersive reflection and body work starting friday night at Kunsthal continuing at Viernulvier Saturday morning and afternoon and ending at Kunsthal on Saturday evening.
