Solidarity through Movement and Object focuses on bodily memory, healing and trauma experienced by women BIPOC. In collaboration with performers Miranda Chan and Aurélie Ann Figaro, Dam explores movement and collective dynamics through the principles of somatic dance. This initiative aims to question the possibilities of healing and solidarity in these spaces of exploration between sculpture and performance.
