I would like you all to collect knowledges where the body is central for this week of self-directed research. That means, all things you have learnt not necessary through books or the classic way of learning, but through lived experience where your senses are central. For instance, my partners mother has experienced migraines all through out her life. In one way, she has been disabled by this condition, however in another way, she can predict when there will be storm or a shift in the atmosphere because that is in fact the trigger for her migraines. Even though she has incredible pain, one can see it as her X-(wo)man superpower. I would like you all to collect as many as possible on your hotglue sites, followed by 3 translations of them into pieces. The medium is free for you to chose: they can be a poem, collage, song, performance, symbol, etc. This is due for the 25th ofApril, where we will be working with this material for the mending/quilting workshop.
