Step into the transformative installation Rehearsals of Belonging 2.0 and become part of a place that fosters an atmosphere of belonging and mindfulness, where reflection and engagement trigger social change.
Polish artist Bartek Arobal Kociemba, together with Mikkel Nielsen and Stefan Węgłowski, has created a sensual space where art, activism and spirituality merge. The installation Rehearsals of Belonging 2.0 functions as a safer space where you can experience queer meditation, LGBT+ talks and interactive performances that invite you to participate and immerse yourself.
Constructed from wood, textiles and bioplastics, the pavilion is surrounded by magnificent soundscapes that support a meditative atmosphere. The textile motifs reflect the fluid nature of migration and queerness, encouraging an ongoing dialogue about societal transformations.
Explore the daily program, where all experiences in the pavilion invite deeper connections – from guided sessions of queer meditation to interactive performances around movement and sound.
Stefan Węgłowski in his works he uses minimalist and spectral techniques, combining them with the broader area of electronic music. In his work he seeks connections between timbre, sound intensity, and its processing through new technologies and actions in space.

MY NAME IS AROBAL AND I WIIL GUIDE YOU THOUGH THE MOTIONS OF THIS SPONTANOUS JOURNEY. PLEASE FOLLOW MY VOICE AND ENTER:
QUEER MEDITATIONS
How to stay present surrounded by intense stimulation?
How to take care of oneself when we are overwhelmed?
Based on mindfulness awareness practice we will learn how to use contemplative depth while opening to the world of senses.
Grounding exploration of various inner landscapes and mind-nature.
UNWILDING
How can we be together while maintaining each other's boundaries?
Our bodies carry stories of endless generations, through this contemplative adventure we will explore free expression through movement improvisation and space interaction.
SOUNDBENDING
Where does Me start and You begin? Can we build new languages in spontaneous meetings? When the power of voices comes together, embracing chaos builds new orders.
