Ancestral Futurities: Encounters with Heritage in Contemporary Dance and Choreographic Practices
This symposium explores how artists engage with cultural heritage, dance practices, and rituals connected to ancestrality through theoretical and methodological perspectives. It examines how ancestral knowledge is activated, transmitted, and transformed, to expand and challenge the dominant dance canons.
Keynote lectures by Şebnem Sözer Özdemir and Urmimala Sarkar
Curation Team: Ulduz Ahmadzadeh, Beatriz Herrera Corado, Christina Gillinger, Isabel Lewis
