Drawing Ritual is an experience of freedom of expression, connection, senses, and trust. This is a process, in which people explore pastel drawing on paper and meeting each other in an embodied way. This ritual involves various movement and drawing processes. Here the body and mind relax, and the playfulness, creative flow and the drawing process beyond representation is activated. There is only one rule: no words. The duration of the experience is 1.5 hours. The studio is open for visits till 6 pm.
The event is a part of Blauwe Zone Festival taking place in Amsterdam Nieuw-West on Saturday and Sunday, 5-6 July.
About the organisers:
DAY Collective is an artist duo consisting of Dorota Radzimirska and Yulia Ratman, based in Amsterdam. Their artistic research investigates how consciousness can be accessed through embodied artistic practices, and how art can serve as an affirmative space for connection—with self, others, and the environment. They approach art-making as a form of ritual. Our practice moves between intuitive solo drawings, collaborative soft sculptures, and participatory performances. These three elements are deeply interconnected and emerge from states of presence, trust, and wordless dialogue. The works of DAY Collective support introspection, healing, and reimagining how we relate to each other and our surroundings.
