Cosense Study #5 documents the creative process run at Chateau D’Eau as part of Rencontres Bandits-Mages 2019 (Bourges, France).
This video documents moments and practices from the creative residency which included rituals tending to transformation, practices of sounding, weaving, and decomposing.

A durational collective performance weaving silk-threads and memories. In cosensing, a non-existing word turns into an invitation to shared sensing, a place of encounter for feminist artists to weave our speculative feminism (SF) within silk, alpaca, and hair threads. In engaging with the materiality of our practices we craft an architectural structure entangling ghosts, metaphors of transformation, bio-tissues, and ancestors’ stories. A co-sensed place that becomes a training on being together in a damaged world. A ritual technology to communicate with our ancestor worms, and grandpas.
