An Artist Roundtable on Healing Through Audio-Visuality: Relationality, Embodiment, and New Collective Futures

This roundtable discussion delves into the profound intersection of audio-visual storytelling and healing processes as articulated by four artists. Focused on understanding how these creators conceptualize and harness the recuperative potential of their work, the conversation navigates through their personal journeys and artistic processes in relation to the notion of healing. Central to the conversation is the notion of body and memory, movement and relationality, social and collective healing and the exploration of alternative strategies within the context of violent and exclusionary systems in order to create new political alliances. Ultimately, this artist roundtable uncovers how their art not only reflects their personal and communal struggles but also acts as a catalyst for connection, solidarity and transformation in broader social contexts.
