Proposal Title
Body Tracing to Dismantle, Confront, and Resist Sources of Power
Abstract
Participants will be invited to volunteer for body tracings representing variations of social status. Volunteers will choose a standing or reclining position, and will be outlined with marker/pencil. Upon completion, tracings will be mounted. Participants will be invited to “fill in” the tracing with words, color, images, and verbal dialogue. Not all participants will be traced. Several can work on one tracing at a time however this activity will be participatory in nature due to the emotional, aesthetic response among participants.
