Somatic Provocations
ABSTRACT
This collaborative project, entitled: SOMATIC PROVOCATIONS, brings together a group of internationally acclaimed academicians, researchers, designers, and artists associated with the field of fashion and textile. The aim is to share and exchange diverse somatic perspectives in design processes through basic experimental art and design research projects.
To manifest our thoughts an introductory webinar was held, followed by a symposium, finally culminating into an exhibition of selected works. The exhibition was curated to generate and demonstrate knowledge of current philosophical inquiries on the body through both pedagogical experiences and practice.
The project was launched in partnership with COLABS, Lahore, Pakistan and exhibited at Art Next Project and Tasweer Ghar.
