Body-Territory

DanzaMedicina’s body-territory

In body-territory, we gather militants, prayers, curers, artists, educators, activists, spiritual healers, social agents, among many others, who carry within resistance, fight, and memories of ancient wisdoms that protect, expand, and defend life like ruins-seeds.

Caring for those who care.

By invoking ritualistic territories, using tools to maintain interiority, moving away from daily life, and setting up a social micro-laboratory, we wish to nurture a safe and reliable space to mobilize vital energy and regenerate dreams and affections for life, combat, and substantiated presence.

A network of shelter and care that allows different social welfare projects to come together and share their strengths and challenges. The projects are developed by women for women (cisgender, transgender, non-binary) and involve individuals from deprived communities, quilombos, settlements or occupations that take part in or develop welfare actions involving gender, race, social class.

The gathering aims at providing a space to experiment with the body and the dance to create an alliance between spirituality and critical thinking. By employing analytical tools to understand the reality in its several dimensions, we encourage changes not only in the subjective, individual level, but also in the concrete and collective levels to transform the modes of production and reproduction of life.
