Performance "The Conference of the Birds"

The intervention transforms the human form into a modular architecture of branches, wings, and blossoming flora as the participants gather to embody a living sculpture. By honoring the “microscopic courage” hidden behind organic elegance, the intervention unfolds through a practice of “becoming”. A suspended moment of hatching where intertwined hands transition from a protective enclosure into the collective motion of flight, as to to view belonging not as a static state, but as a rhythmic dialogue between safety and liberation.

This act serves as a social reflection on how we can simultaneously be a “place” for others and an “action” within ourselves. The title is an intentional reference to the 12th-century Persian poem by Farid ud-Din Attar; just as the birds in the poem discover that the leadership they seek is their own empowered collective, this work mirrors that strength back to the people. It stands as a hymn to the everyday and an invitation to look up, finding refuge in the boundless space above the urban noise.
