Collective Healing Youth Club
The Collective Healing Youth Club (CHYC) is a shapeshifting, multidisciplinary, collaboration-based initiative that foregrounds performance and aims to investigate healing through sensory imagery and embodied ritualistic experiences. CHYC begins as an investigation of transgressive and transcendental spaces such as raves and religious environments, engaging with the ways in which these sites generate a sense of safety, freedom, community formation and transformation through experiences of intimacy and catharsis. CHYC aims to disrupt temporal order and generate a sense of continuity in the realm of discontinuity through shared moments of tenderness and tension. These moments hold an endless potentiality of freedom and hope.
Innaugrual performance at Meno Parkas Gallery on 09/12/23.
