COLLECTIVE EMBODIED RESEARCH METHODOLGIES
Facilitate spaces for collective reflection, research and investigation in community oriented spaces in order to gather, witness and experience the place we live and those we live alongside. These entries reflect a process of collective embodied research in which participants engage in acts of ephemeral happenings and create products that are reflective of their experience. Taking place in sites, such as Institutions, community venues and State organisations this practice opens areas for responding to the experience of diverse communities within conventional structure. During this process participants engage in practices that breakdown the premises of the disciplined or trained elite and in turn fracture the colonial/institutional nature of capitalising expression and connection.
These entries respond to the witnessing and feeling environments that occur during these happenings and work to de-structure and decentralise the process of documenting and archiving.
