Ah! ― artistic practice as a tool for transformation is a project by Teresa Silva in artistic residency that transforms the studio into a place of introspection and encounter. In individual sessions, each participant is invited to listen and become aware of what affects them in the present moment. From there, Teresa creates a dramaturgy for the encounter, proposing and guiding somatic practices, sensory exercises, and symbolic actions that are based on her experience in the field of performing arts and that aim to generate states of attention, self-knowledge, and transformation.
To guide these sessions, the artist draws on her research into the oracular body, her studies in Expressive Arts Therapy, Trauma, and Embodiment (master's degree in progress in EC-EXATT®), as well as on the work of artists such as Anna Halprin, Lygia Clark, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Valentina Desideri, who have made and continue to make her artistic practice a place of affection, ritual, and healing.
