Apostasia Cocktail Bistro: Laments For Love is the performance evening and collective ceremony accompanying the exhibition “Apostasia: Rituals of Letting Go”. The event is focused on grief, exploring its personal, emotional, cultural, political as well as bodily aspects through a series of activities and contributions. As a starting point for the conversation on those topics we are going to collectively listen to the audio play by Jagoda Dobecka And there is pansies, that’s for thoughts presented at the exhibition. This confessional piece introduces the stages of mourning that the artist is going through and opens up questions about the place and role of death in the system and its collective dimension. Listening and discussion will be followed by collective Lament ritual related to embodied grief, love and expansive ecologies.
