Moving Untamed: Symposium on Artistic Research through Embodied Practices

​The symposium explores new ways of knowing and creating through the the somatic experience. The body, as the means through which we are in the world, is always under a process of becoming. Beyond it's materiality, it constitutes a site of identity and is in relation to others and to sociopolitical and cultural dynamics. Following embodiment as methodology, the symposium foregrounds lived experience as a way to reconsider dominant narratives, attending to how movement disrupts norms, reorients perception, and reconfigures structures and processes. It aims to provide a space for active participation and exchange, where diverse contributions collectively encourage a rich critical and creative dialogue on artistic research.
