Celestial bodies is a travelling art collective run by seven artists from seven countries. Once a year we meet to share our practices with the aim to expand, exchange and connect anew. Each congress, that lasts approximately two weeks, is a celebration of courage, care, empathy, vulnerability and wonder - the very themes that brought us together and challenged us to work together - through different mediums that reflect Celestial bodies’ wide range of artistic formats, questions and methods.
The yearly congress is full of self-discoveries through sharing raw unfinised work with the others. We want to create safer spaces to be able to grow and allow for experimentation. We do that by slowing down, to be able to be with ourselves, each other and the environment. The trust that is created allows for deeper listening, witnessing, experimentation and courage. Rather than focusing on a specific outcome, we support being on the journey of making and creating.
Celestial bodies is dedicated to cultivating connection despite geographical distance and of finding ways to reconnect over and over again.
As a travelling collective, Celestial bodies creates and reenforces a network of artists. Connecting the dots of past and future meetings a map enfolds - giving shape to a landscape of flourishing encounters.
Our next meeting takes place in Tuscania, Italy in August/September 2022.
