You are warmly invited to a Choreographic Walk I am developing and facilitating a as part of my Squatfabrik residency at Kufa, on the 12th of July 2025 from 14:00 to 17:00 at Giele Botter.
Maybe you or somebody you know once worked in the Giele Botter. Maybe you enjoy walking there now. Maybe you’ve never stepped into the basin. Whether you carry histories and memories in relation to this place or not yet, you are very welcome to join this walk, and to collectively engage with this land.
Within the post-industrial terrain of the terres rouges, walking through the excavated basin of the Giele Botter is like stepping through a portal—an invitation to reflect upon the capitalocene/anthropocene, and to become and to imagine in concert with deep time and the regenerated ecologies of this former mining site. Within this storied matter, the work guides participants through storytelling, interwoven with multi-sensorial listening, humming/sounding, and movement practices with the land, dwelling within and cultivating attunement, resonance and entering into ceremony with that place.
As extractivism has been accelerating and displaced to ‘cheaper’ territories, particularly across the Global South—where environmental and human rights are violated, such as by two multinational steel corporations headquartered in Luxembourg, this multi-scalar project is asking how a local and terrestrial engagement can act as a ground from which a wider ethics of care can grow alliances, extending responsibly trans-locally to other lands and communities still living with the violence of extraction?
This project grew out of the terres rouges, we listen with you research, and engages with questions of entanglement, care, reciprocity and responsibility.
Developed in exchange with Annick Pütz, Alexandra Baybutt and Ines Lopez Carrasco.
Meeting point at the smaller one of the two parking lots of the cemetery in Pétange, location: 49°33’02.6’’N 5°52’36.4’’E. It is a free event.
This is a free event.
