In sweating bath - rearranged #1, talk about discrimination against trans and disabled people and about fun crip-queer ways to appropriate spaces with Edwin Ramirez & Simon Noa Harder.
sweating bath - rearranged #3
sweating baths - rearranged, initiated by Sabian Baumann in collaboration with Corinn Gerber, questions stereotypical notions of gender and common concepts of illness and healing. The prevailing, normative understanding of the body, which also in Baden is shaped by persisting colonial structures, is brought into conversation. Queer, Indigenous, and Two-Spirit identities are negotiated. Racism and fatphobia in our society will be critically discussed from the perspective of Black people and People of Color. The conversations are an attempt to develop visions applicable today. They can be heard and seen in sign language from April 21 to May 18, 2022, in the relaxation rooms of the Fortyseven wellness spa designed by Mario Botta.
