Împunge – is a Romanian term that has no translation into words, but only body language. It stands for two cows locking horns, head-to-head, but is also a term that parents use to tell their kids – stop playing around.

In this workshop, we will craft horns from everyday materials, learn about and exchange ideas on endangered cultural practices of cows, and reflect on our own sensual connections to our languages. Every cow has different horns – they all stand for a unique personality, but also are the pathway for connecting on multiple emotional levels to their community.

Exploring, understanding, and imitating cows' horn rituals, we are invited to look more closely at our own needs as human animals – especially those we tend to forget in our highly structured, bureaucratized lives. But also, it opens up levels of connecting empathically to nonhuman animals, who may have seemed impossible for us to understand before.

Duration: 90 min; no previous artistic skills necessary – every curious animal is welcome!
