WG2BODIES
ABOUT
bodies is an international group of researchers, educators and practitioners coming together from across artistic, academic, and activist contexts. Elaborated via three discrete yet interrelated working parties – animal bodies, institutional bodies, and environmental bodies – “bodies” unfolds what emerges when transdisciplinary, collaborative, practice-led research is situated in, and cared for by an artistic research environment.
Manifesting via a series of i-r-l and online events, experiences, and publications, BODIES is a co-creative transdisciplinary testing ground for embodied, experiential, and environed arts and acts of living, playing, dancing, dying, talking, writing, and performing better together, at a troubled time on a damaged planet.
