Everybody lives within worlds shaped by “lines”: crosswalks, kite strings, horizons, red lines, timelines… Lines form clues, boundaries, and rules; they also create connections or ruptures. At times, bodies themselves become lines—stitching and weaving stories across different relationships and fragments of the world.
This body movement workshop works with real “lines” as a way to explore how bodily movement can produce relationships between bodies and lines. Participants are invited to name their own line and allow it to carry memories and stories. Each line may hold a personal narrative, while also tracing a connection between an individual life and a particular part of the world. In this process, the workshop may resonate with the exhibition’s themes: the relationship between individuals and past communities, and between individuals and the larger world.
Participants are encouraged to wear loose, comfortable clothing suitable for movement.
Free and open to the public.
Space is limited. Registration is required.
Due to the workshop’s close connection to the exhibition, as well as limitations related to the format and venue capacity, the 23 May event will be held in a small-group format with limited spots available. We hope to prioritize participation by those who have already visited the exhibition and would like to revisit its bodily experiences and sensations together with us. As part of the registration process, we invite potential participants to briefly share some thoughts or reflections from their visit. We will contact registrants by 20 May regarding their participation status.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to gathering with you again on the exhibition’s closing day.
