Event Details

Royal Anthropological InstituteThe Royal Anthropological Institute presents:

  BODIES IN MOTION

 A series of evening events and exhibitions that explores the relationship  between human movement, space and expression

The way in which we move our bodies can express our multiple identities as well as our social and cultural backgrounds. Whether dancing, walking or playing sports, movement can be an affirmation of society’s norms, a celebration of community cohesion and a vehicle for expressing national and international affiliations.  Equally, human movement can be a means of resistance demonstrating social and political unrest or an avenue for innovation and cultural change.

Using photography, ethnographic film, art and presentations, Bodies in Motion aims to engage the public in exploring the meaning of human movement in urban, digital and natural landscapes.
