In this workshop we will transform paper waste that carries the potential for new transformation; written upon, drawn upon, folded, torn, and, ultimately, recycled to begin again. The whole process is an act of deconstruction and reconstruction, recognizing our own place in nature’s rhythm. This workshop will be a creative space, set up as an open studio, creating conditions for all ages (especially for children) to freely explore the creative process.

Fryj, të fryshë, frymë. It’s just a touch? is a ritual workshop by Erdiola Kanda, inspired by her Vlach heritage.

Each session includes an incantation, ancestral words, and Kanda’s own writing, reactivating the past and creating a space where generations meet in silence.
