A Choreographic Exhibition

In A Choreographic Exhibition, artist and choreographer Ula Sickle reimagines NW as a terrain for spoken words and gestures, scenographic interventions, sound, photography and video. Moving fluidly between choreography, performance, and the visual arts, her work interrogates how bodies encode, resist, and transmit ideology. Expanding on themes of protest, collectivity, and embodied resistance, she activates her performances outside of choreography’s habitual temporal structures.

A Choreographic Exhibition is not a retrospective but a work of sampling, where fragments of past performances—including Free Gestures (2018), Relay (2018), The Sadness (2020—22), Echoic Choir (2021), and Holding Present (2023)—were edited, reassembled, collaged, and set in motion throughout the galleries and spaces of Netwerk Open House for Art and Film, May 3 & 4, 2025.
