The (De/)Colonial Fractals of Ecosomatics
Conference Presentation
In this open format presentation Ester invited conversation around how to engage the decolonial possibilities and pitfalls of researching the emerging yet ancient field of ecosomatics. Her research includes mapping the cultural traditions, philosophies and movement modalities that inform and shape the development of ecosomatic dance in the UK and abroad, visibilising transcultural heritage. It also involves applying embodied methods of exploring how ecosomatics can contribute to post-abyssal thinking and being for decolonial futures. She outlined the colonial challenges and decolonial possibilities within ecosomatics, and welcomed discussion on ways of approaching academic embodied work that may carry decolonial possibilities, without taking liberties with claims to “decoloniality”.
