SUMMARY:The Body As Data: People On The Move
DESCRIPTION:Thanet\, Dover\, Folkestone\nKent based dance artists Sidonie Carey Green and Tom Tegento are excited to announce the successful funding of its participatory performance project The Body As Data\, working with local communities and artists to explore personal narratives and experience of borders. \nThrough a series of creative movement workshops\, site specific walking events\, and filming using surveillance technologies\, a film will be created exploring how the ‘body-as-data’ can draw its own border by re-imagining the potential of drone technology and the power of walking practice. This project will connect local communities who have experienced forced migration and we will come together to mobilise the border of the Kent coast from Margate to Folkestone. \nThe Body as Data workshops and walks are set to begin on Saturday 1st June in Margate and will run through to Sunday 30th June in Folkestone. Attendees are invited to join by the location they live at\, and are very welcome to join the locations at Margate and Folkestone. \nFull details: www.thebodyasdataproject.com \nCounterpoints Arts is one of the co-commissioners of the project\, which is supported by Arts Council England.

SUMMARY:Kitchen Conversations: Brunch by Sonia Uddin and Olga Macrinici
DESCRIPTION:What makes us feel at home? A taste? Smell? Colour? Sound? What does it mean to be displaced in our own home or land? \nRepresenting the heart of our homes\, the kitchen is a space where some of the most meaningful\, life-changing conversations take place. We want to replicate this experience and create a platform for dialogue between all members of our community: artists\, writers\, organisers\, comrades and friends. \nMany of us will have our stories of home\, migration and displacement related to food and its preparation. Over the past months we’ve been shown Palestinians preparing meals with the ingredients they have to hand whilst under siege\, narrating their culture and heritage\, as acts of both survival and resistance. Weaponising food and using famine as a method of control in occupied territories\, has been historically used by oppressors all over the world. We are witnessing it now in Gaza and Sudan. We want to acknowledge this\, in solidarity and as artists and organisers. \nIn the hope of food bringing folks together in kitchen conversations\, we invite organisers\, comrades and friends to a brunch\, offering a space to meet and find joy in conversation. \nJoin us in the simple act of sharing a meal and bring a dish you’ve made related to home to share together with comrades and to regroup. Register for the event HERE. \nThis is a free event. If you are able to donate\, we would be grateful if you could support the following charities: \nThe Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund via THIS donation link. \nAnd/or \nSudanese charities HERE. \n* As we’re sharing home-made dishes\, please bring a full list of ingredients. Thank you! \n  \nAbout the Artists: \nSonia Uddin is a visual artist with a social\, collaborative\, interdisciplinary practice. Her current research engages with themes around social architecture\, housing activism\, resistance\, migration and the voices that emerge during times of community struggle. Working across film\, performance\, collage and print\, archives and social histories inform a documentary approach to storytelling. She is currently undertaking a commissioned project for Counterpoints Arts that explores: social housing\, activism and migration; through archives\, interviews and storytelling workshops around housing struggle. \n  \nOlga Macrinici is a migrant\, queer and disabled theatre artist from Moldova. They work at the intersection of theatre and social change\, combining performance\, community projects and writing. Olga is currently based in Liverpool\, making interdisciplinary work\, from writing and directing to running workshops with and for the migrant community and performing on the local drag scene.\n
