demo station: Coro Voci di Donne – CHOIR OF SINGULAR VOICES

Coro Voci di Donne presents CHOIR OF SINGULAR VOICES.

The Choir of Singular Voices was born from the collaboration between Camilla Barbarito, a singer and performer from Milan, and the Department of Mental Health of A.S.S.T. Santi Paolo e Carlo, in partnership with the Van-Ghè Art Clinic Association, which organizes rehabilitation programs through artistic practice.
It is an open group for the community, meeting once a week.
The method, welcoming and gentle, respects each participant’s abilities while revealing the instinctive and essential musical instrument that everyone possesses: the voice.
Without intermediaries, it allows participants to explore their inner world and connect deeply with their bodies.
Singing therefore requires both control and balance. Freedom and control: a seemingly paradoxical challenge for people with mental health conditions, yet it is precisely in this paradox that the rehabilitative effect unfolds.

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
