Register

As part of an ongoing ancestral research, this audio guide walk reflects on our ancestry, collective memories of displacement, and death rituals in post-colonial society, seeking to support the unfolding and sensing of one’s thresholds in relation to time, space, and the body in different dimensions and with different rules. Using somatic exercise and fictional family memories, we find ourselves reconnecting and thinking with the forest and our ancestors. It is a proposal to slow walk through the nature as a group sharing the experiences, together and alone, while listening to an audio guide via your own headphone.
