VALENTINA DESIDERI & DENISE FERREIRA DA SILVA: Sensing Salon
to
Artspeak Gallery 233 Carrall Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6B 2J2
Opening Friday, November 24, 8pm
Healing, as much as art, is a praxis. It is something to do and it does something: it restores. In their collaborative work, Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreira da Silva explore healing as an art form, a praxis of sensing and making sense that includes studying, thinking, reading and restoring experiments that reach for the deepest level of our entangled existence. Ferreira da Silva and Desideri will host a Sensing Salon at Artspeak—a studio for the practice of healing arts—where different reading and healing tools will be shared and available for use, such as Tarots, medicinal plants, Fake Therapy cards, books, Astrology, Reiki, etc.
