About the event
Author Abigail Rose Clarke combines the scientific method with the poetry and lyricism of movement and somatic studies to help readers explore the body through today’s most seemingly intractable social and environmental challenges. She encourages a reclamation of the body as a source of liberatory comfort in times of great uncertainty and possibility.With tools and practices to help us better understand and dismantle the many ways our bodies are weaponized to serve domination systems, topics covered include:
Harnessing the vitality of curiosity and experimentation
Using nature as a guide to possibility
Embracing the necessity of difference
Exposing the lie of universal isolation
Dismantling the fallacy of hierarchy
