What does it mean to feel lost or found in a crowd?
The project is based on the voices and bodies of experts in everyday life: people who have experienced sensitivity or discomfort in public spaces. Through conversation, movement, music, and collaborative creation, we ask: How do we live in a world designed by and for extroverts? Can we reimagine the crowd as a space of care, gentleness, or even joy?
“extra-intro” was a master's project by Anastasiia Larina. It was funded by a scholarship (ASoP) from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with various institutions, including the Mozarteum University, with support from Practicing Care.
Mentors: Kinga Szemessy, Christoph Lepschy
