Embodied knowledge is a situated, living practice. It emerges through movement, ritual and sensory experience, shaping how people remember, form relationships and locate themselves in the world. Through collective practice, it is passed on, preserved and transformed with the bodies, places and encounters that carry it.
On 31 October, “Embodied Practices” brings together the artistic and curatorial practices of Laura Campaz, Jenny M. Díaz Muñoz, Julieth Morales and Maque Pereyra.
From an Afro-Colombian perspective, Laura Campaz brings together archival work, digital technologies and speculative imagination. As a Misak artist, Julieth Morales reinterprets bodily and ritual practices while questioning colonial influences and gender roles. Through collaborative processes of research and creation, Jenny M. Díaz Muñoz connects art, politics and historical memory, taking rituals and affects as points of departure. Through music, movement and the practice of Yoggaton, Maque Pereyra opens pathways to embodied knowledge through pleasure, sensuality and spirituality.
In dialogue, they ask how artistic and curatorial practice transforms inherited forms of knowledge and opens spaces for other experiences and relationships. Works by the artists are presented in the space and offer further points of departure for the conversation.
Before the talk, Maque Pereyra's Embodied Practice “Yoggaton: Transformative Pleasure” will take place.
“Embodied Practices” is funded by the Radialstiftung and through the “Anbahnung” fund of the German Federal Cultural Foundation as part of the “WAYS – Fair and Sustainable International Partnerships” program.
