'Overall, the aim is to develop an expansive, ongoing methodology of performance art with other artists that can help connect and channel testimony and witnessing within past and current/present histories in a responsive non extractive manner.'
Here the group investigated ways we can hold space/s that can offer witnessing outside of dominant political stories and outside of the power structures that reproduce oppression. Also those outside our own psychological defences that disconnect us from one another and ourselves.
