Object Intimacies: Sensing Shifts

Our world is made through relations. The quality of those relations shapes the quality and conditions of our lives. When time is marked by isolation, competition and scarcity, it can feel as though this is just the way things are. Desire, joy and pleasure — often dismissed as inappropriate in times of crisis — are vital fuels for love, resistance and change. As adrienne maree brown reminds us, what we pay attention to grows.

This workshop engages with vitality and aliveness in relation — something our bodies already know. Through collective experiments in attuning and attending to objects, materials, stories and sensations, it traces the ways we are moved, cultivating felt shifts and making space for everyday practices of change.
