As a part of Rehearsing Hospitalities -event in Museum of Impossible Forms, Helsinki I facilitated an English version of Akatupakilla called Holding Space with Yarrow. Holding Space with Yarrow is a participatory and performative session that engages with yarrow through foot baths, hydrobodies and meditation. Yarrow is one of the oldest plant remedies used as a cure for many different ills, as its numerous names remind us. Yet what may this powerful plant, which many consider merely a weed, mean for us today? How could its voice be heard in human communities?
Rehearsing Hospitalities is organised by Frame Finland. Thank you Yvonne Billimore and Jussi Koitela.
