About this exposition

In this exposition, I expand the notions and practices of collective body-action intervention (dance, performance, happenings, etc.) as a method to strengthen embodied knowledge, an instigation to engage in restorative encounters, and an invitation to intervene and disrupt political biases of (public) spaces. These methodologies propose alternatives for knowledge exchange/production beyond hegemonic, Eurocentric education. In parallel, I reflect on my own practice and the anti-patriarchal and decolonial feminist political basis of the collectives of which I am part. We work with strategies and methodologies inspired by feminisms from the Global South, such as taking care of others as a practice that puts aside the patriarchal capitalist model of life that mainly separates, individualizes, prioritizes, and promotes competition and exploitation. We promote exchange, cooperation, and interdependence. I reflect on how these encounters summon the festive memory of our territories and the resilience of our* wounds. Emotions of the bodies and the resistances will trigger our rituals in Abya Yala**, the flows and drifts will make this poetic-affective encounter, as will the skin itself. ___ *We: Here I refer to collectivity in a broad sense in each case: We as the collectives I am part of, we as women (cis, trans, nonbinary), we as immigrants, we as bipoc, etc **Abya Yala: Self-determined name for the territories in the global south named "America" as a result of the colonizing process.

I en här expositionen utvidgar jag begrepp och praktiker som förekommer inom kollektiva, kroppsliga interventioner: dans, performance, happenings, et cetera. Ambitionen med denna metod är att stärka den kropsliga kunskapen, att uppmana till delaktighet i reparativa utbyten, och att inbjuda till att ta plats och störa normerna i det politiserade offentliga rummet. Härigenom artikuleras alternativa sätt att utbyta och utveckla kunskap på, bortom de hegemoniska, eurocentriska utbildningsformerna. Parallellt reflekterar jag över min egen praktik och de antipatriarkala och dekoloniala utgångspunkterna hos de kollektiv jag tillhör. Vi* arbetar med strategier och metoder som inspirerats av feministiska rörelser i det globala syd. En sådan metod är omsorgen om andra, som en praktik som utmanar den patriarkala, kapitalistiska normen för hur vi ska leva – en norm som separerar, individualiserar, prioriterar, och som främjar konkurrens och exploatering. Vi vill istället uppmuntra till utbyte, samarbete, och ömsesidigt beroende. Jag reflekterar över hur våra sammankomster kopplar an till minnena av firande i våra territorier och hur de kan göra våra sår motståndskraftiga. Det kommer att vara kropparnas känslor och motstånd som iscensätter våra ritualer i Abya Yala.** Det kommer att vara själva huden, och kropparnas flöden och rörelser, som ger form åt våra såväl poetiska som känslomässiga möten. ___ *Vi: Här åsyftar jag kollektivitet i en vid mening: Vi som de kollektiv jag är del av, vi som kvinnor (cis, trans, icke-binära), vi som immigranter, vi som svarta, ursprungsbefolkning, rasifierade, et cetera. **Abya Yala: Ett självartikulerat namn för de territorier i det globala syd som påtvingats namnet ”Amerika” av koloniseringsprocessen.
