Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreira da Silva develop experimental forms of reading from their artistic practices, using reading tools such as tarot, Political Therapy, palmistry, Fake Therapy, Reiki, astrology and philosophy. The readings work with images and seek to make complexity visible rather than deliver answers or fix single meanings. Conceived as a form of self-defense, they aim to expand perception and open up new possibilities for action beyond settled certainties.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/berlin/events/poethical-readings-mit-valentina-desideri-und-denise-ferreir-269/", "official_url": "https://www.volksbuehne-berlin.de/produktionen/the-school-of-self-defense/20261031-1300/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/c5d390c74b35b5fb1c2a19685e60bdaaf785bf4c06f19f56206287c8af75a71d-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-10-31T14:00:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz", "address": "Linienstraße 227, 10178 Berlin", "tickets": "sold_out"}], "similar": [{"title": "Die Grenzen der Sprache", "start": "2026-10-31T16:00:00+01:00", "end": "2026-10-31T17:30:00+01:00", "place": "Haus der Kulturen der Welt", "address": "John-Foster-Dulles-Allee 10, 10557 Berlin", "price": "free", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "tickets_url": "", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["literature/poetry"], "description": "\"Die Grenzen der Sprache\" (The Limits of Language) is a reading followed by a conversation about what words can express and what becomes audible through silence.
