Whether dancing, walking or playing sports, movement can be an affirmation of society's norms, a celebration of community cohesion and a vehicle for expressing national and international affiliations. Equally, human movement can be a means of resistance demonstrating social and political unrest or an avenue for innovation and cultural change.Bodies in Motion, is an initiative that explores the relationship between human movement, space and expression. Using photography, ethnographic film, art and presentations, the project aims to engage the public in exploring the meaning of movement in urban, digital and natural landscapes.Full Programme details and booking information can be found on www.discoveranthropology.org.ukI have also attached the publicity below and to this email.
