in secret dens explores feelings of spality and relationality in nomadic communities throughout performative actions, soundscapes and the photographic medium. the project has primarily unfolded in two intertwined phases, in March 2024 and June 2024, involving different levels of participation (individual/collective), languages (performance/installation) and engagement (visible/not visible) towards the concept of nomadic citizenship and flows of people. this perspective encompasses not only human beings from various sociological categories but also non-human actors which are part of urbanscapes, such as sounds, plants and social interactions on foot that eventually transform into temporary habitats for trans-cultural communities ever evolving and bodies of architecture. the core fieldwork regards the relationship between human bodies – as social bodies – and natural habitats: the fieldworks related to battersea park (non-human encounters); batterea walk and power station (infrastructures and bodies); the thames estuary (subjective experiences of metamorphosing habitats). materials: wereable/ sculptural vest made of fabric petals / honeycomb-patterned silicone rubber hood / soft scultpures made of korean waterproof textile sourced locally / british carded wool / wooden bespoke QR codes / soundscapes / fine art photography project manager: wandsworth council, london logistic support: royal college of art, WAF wandsworth fringe arts festival venue support: wandsworth council, the alchemist london, WAF wandsworth fringe arts festivaltechnical advice: RCA future materials, the print space london, contrado ltd, cultural digitisation heritage photography: k.ah.n artistic direction: medina zabo artists involved: medina zabo + ulmus collective / maria batcha, catia silvestre, dora grabowska, daisy F, viki wen, gabriela fernandez
