// Yawning as an eco-somatic practice 5 - 7 pm
Workshop by Rocio Marano // Registrations: image.lab.research@gmail.com
We will explore the borderland between rest and the subconscious by embracing yawning as an eco-somatic practice. Through kinesthetic awareness and gentle touch, we tap into the body's innate unwinding potential, fostering an empathic presence that may facilitate each other on a journey into altered states of consciousness reminiscent of dreaming.

// Psychomagic: Rewrite your nightmares and embrace your dreams 5 - 6:30 pm
Workshop by Alicia Morán / Registrations image.lab.research@gmail.com
What is real? What do we dream or what do we live? So if both worlds are entwined, how can we talk to our unconscious to change our reality?
In this 1.30 hr workshop, we will talk through creative writing to our unconscious to leave in it what really does us good: we will rewrite our nightmares, we will transfer our dreams to life. We will remember that the power is ours: our narratives.

He mainly works on painting, and sometimes combines with installation and performance. As he is trained in both Korean and European painting, he explores both traditions, somewhere between them or in a new realm. He is interested in religion and spirituality.

Kim visualizes these themes in combination with his fairy tale colors and images, creating an artistic world in his narrative language.

Luz Peuscovich is an argentinian artist, astrologer and alchemist living and working in Berlin. Currently I feel actively working on research at the intersection between art and science, I seek that each of my works is a symbol, simple and easy to understand for non-expert visitors. I am not interested in purely conceptual art, but in the art of experience. I am interested in the relationship with nature, that the works are excuses to be able to connect and perceive in a new way, either looking upwards, towards the stars, or looking downwards, towards the earth and minerals
