Conjuring Memory, Reclamation & Community: How We Rewrite Our Narratives
About This Event
CNY Humanities Working Group MP28 invites pedagogues, critical practitioners, researchers, and scholars to attend Conjuring Memory, Reclamation & Community: How We Rewrite Our Narratives. The methodologies of award-winning dancer and choreographer Jie-Hung Connie Shiau center on revealing the unseen geographic of the body—those internal spaces where memory, emotion, and instinct are stored, shielded, or released in the on-going act of self-preservation. Through guided movement practices and improvisation, breathwork and mindfulness, and creative, collective inquiry, participants illuminate their own invisible architectures that shape how we survive, endure, and transform.
