The contributors are invited to present materials, research questions, and provocations that pertain to both historic and contemporary narratives, investigating the potential for collection, transmission, and worlding. The videos contribute to the project’s broader inquiry into how embodied creative practices, such as performance, can unfold alternative narratives, practices of embodying histories and the transfer of embodied knowledge.
