University Open Air: Reading the Flight of Birds
We should behave as if the things we see, no matter how irrelevant, are always about to tell us a secret.
Birds write messages in the sky, which we will learn to read in this workshop. To know those messages is to let ourselves be seduced by the beauty of reality, poetically expanding our daily lives through empathy and love for nature.
Nothing is required for this workshop, other than a willingness to look at the sky and listen with our eyes, as we enter into a symbolic relationship with the world.
Enrique Enriquez was born in Caracas and has lived in New York for the past 25 years, where he talks to birds and explores the magic of language and the poetics of divination.
