Telling Collective Bodymapping Project
A Telling Collective Initiative
 Body Mapping in the United States with students and families at Hampshire College Spring '07 |
Our vision is a development paradigm based on listening. This promotes healing, education, politicization and education. It galvanizes communities through women. We will support the sharing of oral histories as a way to influence policy and give agency to those who have been silenced by western notions of development. Honoring these stories will also enable healing as women reclaim their experiences and find their own path of transformation. We will use body mapping, an artistic outlet for expressing internal and external dynamics, as our technique of bringing out these stories, learning from women and sharing what we have learned.
We will update this web page and our blog as the body mapping initiative grows. You can use this page to track the progress in Africa at multiple body mapping sites. This site will also keep you linked to United States body mapping workshops and information on how you can do your own body mapping!
Our aim is to make body mapping an accessible tool for everyone. If you have any needs and/or feedback for the process of bodymapping and our resources please contact us. Also keep us in the loop of your own body mapping so that we can keep everyone connected and support you in any way possible....[Read More]
