‘Exercises in Making Ways’ is a series of exercises in which art, within the framework of creative workshops, research, and artistic practices, are based on our participatory and active engagement. With the methodology used by collectives, activists, educators, and translating it into the field of art, I aim to adopt a horizontal perspective where art is understood as a shared experience.

‘Exercises in Making Ways’ are exercises based on a dual sense, involving both the creation of physical matter and the attribution of meaning and significance. It's akin to double exposure where matter and meaning are intertwined. It's an attempt to examine the agency of matter in building inclusive and holistic relationships. Materiality and affects are understood within them as an environment, an organic, unified entity that enables the creation of safe, caring, attentive, and hospitable communities, relationships, and communication. ‘Exercises in Making Matter’ are exercises in which meaning is re-claimed through the choreography of bodies and matter.
