Over the course of three days, Arnell and her collaborator Clara López Menéndez conducted a workshop with 20 participants in order to construct the trust and sequences that would become a public performance as part of the evening Disclosure – exhibition as discourse as disco. The workshops included a series of exercises to explore the interactions that become meaningful in the composition of a community, even if temporary. The participants were invited because of their commitment to feminist politics and their engagement with queer forms of existence. During the action at Dogzstar, power electronics/noise musician KOEFF / Johanna Rosenqvist performed a work conceived for the action and inspired by a weekend spent in Berlin in collaboration with Arnell, as well as the text She Says written by Arnell.
The participants were: Gizem Aksu, Deniz Nihan Akta, Malin Arnell, Daniela K. Campo, Yigit Daldikler, Alime Aslı Demir, Dilan Ceylan Emektar, Mariana Fernandes, Clara López Menéndez, Mirjam Rüb, Nese Ceren Tosun, Kübra Varol, Johana Wagner, Gokce Yigitel, Pınar Özer, Nurgül Öztürk.
