Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We would like to welcome you to the RAI this April for our multimedia initiative called Bodies in Motion.
Bodies in Motion is a series of evening events and exhibitions that explores the relationship between human movement, space and expression
Place: The RAI, 50 Fitzroy St, London W1T-5BT
Time: 6:30pm-8:30pm
Dates: Friday 13th April, Tuesday 17th April, Wednesday 18th April, Thursday 26th April, Monday 30th April
The way in which we move our bodies can express our multiple identities as well as our social and cultural backgrounds. 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.uk <http://www.discoveranthropology.org.uk/>
