Bodies-thinking: teaching and learning body literacy 🗓

Friday April 18th, 12-1:30 (zoom)

RSVP Here

There is an urgent need to consider the ways we are supporting our students to develop body-literacy. This workshop asks the Pratt community–including faculty, staff and students–to come together to consider how to define a transdisciplinary body literacy that meets the diverse needs of our students; future artists and designers who will take on the responsibility of representing bodies, designing for bodies, and advocating for the embodied needs of themselves and others. We will begin by sharing progress in the development of a bodies-thinking teaching methodology arising from the first two years of work by the Transdisciplinary Discourse on the Body FLC and then will move into discussion groups before coming back for a final discourse and sharing session. Participation in this workshop will help us continue to develop this methodology and work towards a shared definition of body literacy.
