Maggie Nelson & Oluwaseun Olayiwola: Embodied Interiority

Our relationships with our bodies can be both intimate and alien at once. How can we feel at home in them? Together, genre-defying writer Maggie Nelson (Pathemata) and poet and choreographer Oluwaseun Olayiwola (Strange Beach) explore how our bodies can be the sites of agony and unbridled pleasure. How might we cultivate the courage to open ourselves to new ideas of what our bodies can give and receive for the limited time that we inhabit them? Chaired by Mairi Oliver.
