Living Room Session at Felix Meritis #7

Welcome to the Living Room Sessions

Take a seat in the living room as moderator Shaquille Shaniqua Joy guides you through an evening with:

A poetry performance by poet, host and cultural producer Sydney Lowell. The screening of Imaginary Rescripting, a visual essay by artist and designer Kexin Hong. A sonic lecture by curator, writer and researcher Adama Keïta.

Start your weekend well on the 4th of April and allow yourself to be present while getting inspired by performance, art, film and conversation.

Growth

Throughout the program, we will explore the expansive theme of ‘growth��, which will be reflected in every aspect of the evening. While growth itself can be personal, the journey of understanding what it means to each of us is highly influenced by the interactions, experiences and thoughts we exchange with the people we encounter. Growth like most things in life is non linear and can be something others see in us before we recognize it ourselves as well as the other way around. It’s open-ended and not just about learning but also unlearning, redefining, and engaging in conversations with ourselves that aren’t always easy as pain is an inevitability when it comes to growth. It’s about understanding ourselves better while moving forward and at the same time learning when to stand still. Growth requires us to accept impermanence, make space, and set intentions.

The living room as a metaphor 

The living room is a metaphor for a place that radiates intimate, familiar, warm and welcoming energy and a space where people come together. It unites art hanging on the walls, music that one might play or listen to, movies you watch, conversations with others in the space and more. The Living Room Session brings all of these aspects together in an evening of inspiration curated and presented by Shaquille Shaniqua Joy.
