Moving the Nomadic Body
 
          How do I structure the map of my ephemeral physical space-time?
                                                         Movement and language create space. They create time.
The entanglement of imagination and language in our bodies creates kinetic representations.




‘Moving the nomadic body’ applies movement and choreography as tools of critical thinking, awareness, and political action.
It it a workshop of kinetic composition in which the body moves in the real and the imaginary, while choosing to influence and get influenced.
The body is characterized as a complex entity. The body creates spaces and this is expressed by its performativity in space.

Following the feminist geographer Massey, the workshop activates the three notions of space: discursive - imaginary - corporeal and aims to build new maps.

The workshop offers a different way of interacting with the written words and the reasoning space. How our body, by choosing to reject the hierarchy of the mind in understanding language, can perceive and move language differently?
The more sensitive the body  is in its ‘ relational representations’, the more power has to act and inform space as a practice of possibilities, shaped by continuous representations and effects of self and other material relations.


The term ‘nomadic body’ has been influenced by the theory of nomadic subjectivity (Deleuze, Guattari, 1985) by stating free thought that travels away from domination and categorization. A nomadic body that perceives the ‘worn standard notions of hegemony’ and moves away from passivity and stagnation.

IMAGINATIVE REALITIES is the title that I gave in the transformed photo captures. I find it very interesting that the tools of light can manipulate or bring a different perspective in what I notice or how I see a constellation of things around me. These are the captions of the years 2019-2021
