Shedhalle Zurich

A Seminar on the Psyche

19 - 22 November 2025

Throughout ten years of practice, the Poethical Readings exposed how one or more of the components of what we call the emotional intrastructure of the subject—namely, fear, guilt, shame, and anger—are at play behind every question and in the midst of every crisis. Towards gathering a sense of why and how this infrastructure has come to compose the psyche, which is the figuring of interiority assembled by psychoanalysis, we have organized this structured study program, which we call the Echo Seminars. Between November 19th and 22nd, Denise Ferreira da Silva and Valentina Desideri have host ‘Reading with Echo—A Seminar on the Psyche’ at Shedhalle, Zurich,

A mobile tool box with reading and healing tool remained availble throught the exhibition “Loving Shedhalle - Abundance” from October 25 – January 11, 2026. The exhibition was curated by Lucie Tuma, Carla Peca and Micheal Hiltbrunner.
