A poetic investigation about personal intimacy and safe spaces for women in prison
This investigation is a collaborative and international transdisciplinary project about personal intimacy and safe spaces with women in prison. From 2023 to 2026 several poetry writing workshops were held at the female Penitentiary Center Wad Ras in Barcelona, the female JVA Stadelheim in Munich and the female Theatre project Clean Break with HMP Askam Grange in London. Since 2025 the workshops were extended to outside places, such as various Civic Centres in Barcelona and the cultural organization Koesk in Munich. A growing fictional letter-writing movemnet was created that aims to build bridges between people’s ideas and concepts about personal intimacy and feeling safe. The project works from inside out, writing letters from the perspectives of intimacy of a Penitentiary environment (the bed, the window, the sheet, the shower) which are given to other people in different contexts. People answer these letters from their own personal intimacy ideas (music, reading, walks, water) and a cross-over dialog happens connecting and disconnecting people, objects, spaces and activities.
As we build up a corpse of literary intimacy spaces the participants were portrayed during the act of writing as sort of an homage to representing women pursuing intellectual activities. These portraits now form part of a transitable installation that aims to build an ephemeral and vague space of intimacy - as vague and diffuse as our ideas and concepts of personal safe spaces.
The project counts with the performance AIXOPLUC, a video-installation and a series of 12 fotographs.
These outcomes were installed seperately at the Biennale L’Andart 25 in Andorra, the Civic centers of Can Basté, Torre Baró and Sagrada Familia in Barcelona as well as at the artist residency Villa Waldberta in Munich.
The project awaits to present the whole of its outcomes in 2027 at the Felicia Fuster Foundation in Barcelona.
