01-05/06/2026 Collective Ritual Workshop with Yolanda Morales

We are pleased to host two workshops in collaboration with two artists, performance artist Yolanda Morales and visual artist Raul Walch. The workshops are taking place during the week of June 1–5, and during the 20th-anniversary celebrations from June 10–12. Both workshops are open to the whole university, will run concurrently and will engage in dialogue with one another. 

The artists are working with both groups to bring the results of the collective installation to life through a performative ritual, which will be presented publicly on Thursday, June 11, as part of the 20th-anniversary celebrations. The workshops will take place all day throughout the week in the main building (primarily in the first-floor foyer), making the process visible to the university community and facilitating spontaneous encounters.

Collective Ritual Workshop with Yolanda Morales:

movement, choreography, and collective interaction as tools for exploring body,
perception, and space, to develop a collective ritual through performance.

Collaboration of Space and Building theory (Prof. Alessandro Gess), and Methods of Urban Practice (Prof. Hanna Göbel) in context of the HCU 20 year anniversary.
