How does practice-based research with a focus on body-based knowledges and insights help to concretise the felt experience of socio-political themes such as commoning, power, and relationality? How can we use embodied, experiential techniques to better articulate how we relate to ourselves, to each other and to systems of power? Can practice-based research help us to do differently, not just say differently? A one day symposium hosting practical labs on a variety of embodied practice-research approaches. With an interdisciplinary focus and an inclusive approach, we have invited practitioners working across dance and psychology, sound and computing, design, and theatre. We will aim to reflect our enquiry in the structure and holding of the day, as well as in the themes brought by invited artists and scholars. Please come prepared to experiment, participate, and co-create the day with us. The title of the event is a play on the word 'in-carn-ate' - literally, to make flesh. We are, in a sense, engaged in the messy process of fleshing out the potential insights of embodied practice-research for socio-political issues. Location:

Nadia Yahlom is a PhD student at CREAM, Westminster, looking at hauntedness, supernatural life and the necropolitical between Palestine and the UK, whose research considers how both humans, artefacts and landscapes reverberate with colonial violence. Her work explores how spaces such as museums, state archives and other institutions reinforce colonial biopolitics in relation to the Palestinian living and dead, and asks how individuals and collectives can create materials which subvert these power regimes, preserve folk/oral histories and respond generatively to absence, particularly in the context of cultural erasure and unfolding genocide. Nadia is also a co-founder of Sarha Collective, an artists collective for experimental art forms from Palestine and the broader SWANA region. @sarhacollective

Best Things to Do

Dannywu

On May 21, I took the elderly to visit the British Museum, and the tour guide service was warm and professional. If you visit the museum without a tour guide, it may be completed in half an hour. The main reason is that the historical geography has not been learned well. Under the tour guide&#39;s explanation, the three hours feel very fast. This is the second time I have decided to come to the British Museum for the tour guide service of Trip.com . I still feel that the meaning is still not enough. The first time I came, I also decided that the tour guide service of Trip.com was very good.

Westminster Abbey

Night view

205***29

🏰 Westminster Abbey, it&#39;s really shocking! 📍 It&#39;s located in central London, close to the Parliament Building and Big Ben. The church is a prominent representation of British Gothic architecture, towering spires, exquisite carvings and beautifully painted glass windows, each detail shows an unparalleled artistic charm. Walking into the church, as if through time and space, is the holy place of the crowning of the British royal family, witnessing countless important moments in history. It is also a resting place for many celebrities, and great figures such as Newton, Darwin, Dickens have slept here, making people respect their contributions. Walking around, you can feel the solemnity of religion and the deep historical and cultural heritage. The church&#39;s Henry VII chapel is exquisite, with a fan-shaped arched roof and densely carved decorations, like a fairy tale fairyland. Whether it is an architecture lover or a historical and cultural fan, Westminster Abbey is definitely worth a visit. I believe you will be deeply impressed by its charm like me. 💕 highly recommend it to everyone! 💕

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious inside, but you are not allowed to take photos, you can only take photos outside. When I entered, I took a photo but was stopped by the staff. Knowing the daily life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
