ENERGY BUILD by Alex Dolores Salerno

Energy Build is a workshop consisting of collective presence, self-massage, stretching and free movement at a gentle pace, in an attempt to gather and build energy together.

It is also possible to participate online.

Energy Build is also an experiment in mutual aid, joy and self-care as community care. Salerno borrows the concept from an “art build,” which is a community gathering where people create art, posters, banners, and a shared visual language in advance of a protest, march, or rally. Similarly, Energy Build centers the experience of chronic fatigue and is about collectively building and sharing energy as a form of mutual aid and preparation for the transitions and collective day-to-day work required to create liberatory modes of living.

There is very low pressure to participate, and the workshop invites you to adapt the exercises to your own body, day, energy, and situation. Can self-care done collectively multiply and amplify our energy? Can mutual aid also include the creation and sharing of energy?

We will meet in the pavilion and on Zoom from 10.30am to 12pm. The intent is not to add social fatigue to your day; it’s the opposite.

The pavilions in Enghaveparken are step-free and have direct access to the park. Coffee and tea will be served to those attending in person. This offering stems from Salerno’s coffee-based work semilla santa in the exhibition and considers our morning rituals as an opportunity to deepen our connection and responsibility to the earth.

Speakers and folding chairs will also be set up outside the pavilion, making it possible to participate from the park if you prefer not to sit inside the smaller pavilion.

Bring a blanket, mat, or whatever else you need to feel comfortable.

PLEASE NOTE: In case of bad weather, the workshop will take place online only.

You can choose to have your camera off and participate without spoken or typed speech, just as it is perfectly welcome to have your camera on and engage however you feel called to. Alex Dolores Salerno will narrate their actions as visual and verbal invitations. They will not be giving instructions, but rather offering guiding prompts for you to adapt to your body, your day, your energy, your needs, and your self-knowledge. Salerno’s hope is to support a deeply kind dialogue between you and your bodymind.
