20:00–21:30 — Installation & live sound performance in collaboration with Diana Duta

Echoes and traces of the collective workshop remaining in the space.

A collective workshop, a time in which aesthetic experience will be felt, and created through muscles, sweat, the vibrations of our impacts, the tangible and vibrant presences of our moving bodies expressing and performing gestures of boxing — gestures of dodge, defence, and combat. A space to collectively sense, explore, and address the imaginaries, sensations, narratives, emotions, and transformations that empowering practices such as boxing can generate when practiced by people subjected to sexism.

We will begin with an English boxing training session led by Myriam Nadim, followed by a moment of collective writing and sharing. Finally, we will nestle into rest together.

Diana Duta will join us and create a live sound recording during the workshop to produce a sensitive trace of the collective experience. This sound piece will be performed live in the space during the public moment, from 20:00-21:30.

Developed collaboratively by MORPHO and Out of Sight, Cinema Sessions unfolds as a series of expanded film screenings hosted at Out of Sight. The programme is shaped by both organisations: MORPHO through its residency programme, and Out of Sight through its Public Programme in collaboration with participating artists and in dialogue with the Study Circle. Together, they create a space where moving image intersects with artistic research, collective reflection, and shared experience.
