Prompted by an artist research residency with Rhubaba, Mutual Feelings first materialised as A Reading Circle on Body and Place, a series of free workshops taking place in spring 2023, with participants gathered through a public open call.
The circle gathered to explore everyday entanglements, material cultures and migrations, and notions of another place as a space in which to ‘imagine otherwise’ [Olufemi, 2021].
Sessions were situated across three sites in Edinburgh: the Fruitmarket Warehouse, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and Granton Castle Walled Garden.

The same group of participants re-gathered for a further workshop series oriented towards A Reading on Body and Place, a performance supported and hosted by Fruitmarket, Edinburgh.
Poetic and reflective writings generated during the reading circle were refigured as live readings; choreographed collaboratively as a holistic performance in the gallery for a public audience.
