Bodies in Relation: Collective Practices for Temporary Community

Saturday 23 May 2026 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Goethe-Institut, Masarykovo nábř. 32, Prague

Lecturers: Daniel Neugebauer, Kate Brehme

Following the lecture, this participatory workshop invites attendees to move from reflection into embodied practice, collectively exploring what “safe space” can become when shaped through sensory experience and shared presence. Through guided exercises engaging touch, sound, movement, and stillness, participants will co-create temporary communities that center access, care, and relationality. Drawing on crip and queer approaches, the workshop rethinks safety not as a fixed condition but as a dynamic, negotiated process—one that emerges through attention to bodyminds, difference, and interdependence. Together, we will experiment with how spaces can be felt, transformed, and held, if only for a moment.

Maximum numbers of participants: 30

The event is held on the occasion of the exhibition The Soft After (Studio Prám, 5.5 - 31.5. 2026)) and forms part of the extended program line Café Chalupecký: In-Between-Dialogues, dramaturgically developed for the Jindřich Chalupecký Society by invited curator simona markel dvorák. The series unfolds in the spirit of Jindřich Chalupecký’s legacy, approaching art not only as a reflection of society, but also as a space for intervention and responsibility. In-Between Dialogues thus create a resonance between the historical dimensions of his era and the fragmented reality of the present.
