Performance by Charlotte Hug at Navigating in the Unknown, Monday 11 May, 2015.
Braiding Sweetgrass offers points of relation to queerness, dizziness, and their intersections, by addressing the importance of the collective and lived reciprocity, talking about how plants and forest are teaching us about the destructive and constructive elements of change, and by exploring the possibilities of standing at the brink and those of falling.
Excerpt of the concert Instruction for Use at Musikfestival Rottweil, Germany.
I see Taumeln - or “dizziness” - as having five dimensions: firstly there is the deliberately cultivated technique of Taumeln, or meandering, that the Socratic school practiced at the agora in Athens. Walking in a straight line leads to rigid thinking and getting stuck in tracks or a rut of some kind.
The Institute for Medical & Health Humanities and Artistic Research organizes events online and at different locations for the exchange about current projects and initiatives. It wants to contribute to the further development of the discourses in the field of the Medical & Health Humanities, but focus in particular on the manifold connections between the Medical & Health Humanities and artistic research.
How can we navigate together through states of destabilising dizziness? Can the loss of orientation provide creative momentum?
“Dizzy Dress” is a colourful silk dress featuring anatomical illustrations of the inner ear and findings from our research on dizziness.
