Embodied Archives
Embodied Archives
Embodied Archives brings together artists, Jim Chuchu (KE) and Mehmet Aslan (CH) to explore the body as a living archive of our shared evolutionary history. In a moment when AI-generated misinformation, algorithmic echo chambers, and revived race science distort our sense of reality, this project turns to embodied experience—sound, voice, movement, and collective performance—as a grounding truth. Drawing on perspectives shaped by both colonial histories and contemporary European politics, the collaboration bridges Global South and European experimental art networks to challenge ideas that divide us. The work highlights our interconnectedness across race, culture, gender, and even species, inviting audiences to sense the deep evolutionary entanglements that bind all life. Embodied Archives asserts shared humanity not as abstraction, but as something we can feel—together, in the body.
