About this Event
Please note that this event takes place in Pamila Matharu's exhibition space at 32 Lisgar St.
In this workshop, artist Zahra Komeylian invites participants to engage with practices of listening and tuning for resetting nervous system dysregulation.
Our bodies record resonances of collective pain as exhaustion and trauma in the nervous system. In the face of global catastrophe and ongoing grief, building capacity in the body opens space to sustain collective action, empathy, and relationality, rather than collapse. Participants will play with polyvagal exercises, deep listening, movement, and explore resourcing practices for building felt somatic safety.
Note: Participants are encouraged to arrive and settle at 10am, wear comfortable clothing, and bring water to drink. Water will also be provided on site.
Doors: 10 AM | Starts: 10:30 AM | End: 12 PM

The Toronto Biennial of Art’s mission is to make contemporary art accessible to everyone. A ten-week event every two years, the Biennial commissions artists to create new works for a city-wide exhibition in dialogue with Toronto’s diverse local contexts. Year-round public and learning programs bridge Biennials and invite intergenerational audiences to explore the ideas that inspire our events. Building upon past editions and offering new ways of seeing and listening, each Biennial connects people to spark meaningful dialogues and imagine new futures. From September 21 to December 1, 2024, the TBA offers 10 weeks of free public art over 11 unique locations across Toronto.
