The Sensing Salon is a studio practice, conceived by Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreira da Silva, that expands the image of art beyond objects, events, and discourse to include the healing arts. Through formats that facilitate collaborative studying and experimenting with different practices and tools for reading (e.g. Tarot and Astrology) and healing (e.g. Reiki and Political Therapy), it fosters a form of sociality that attends to our deeply implicated existence. Together they perform individual and group sessions of Poethical Readings where they use different reading tools, layering them to image and discus the question brought forward by the participants.
The Sensing Salon takes different shapes according to the context in which it takes place and it involves different guests and participants in each iteration.
Upcoming
A five-year collaborative experiment by Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreira da Silva where Tarot, Reiki, and symbolic tools converge to explore the inseparability of the political, ethical, and emotional dimensions.
