Mnookmi ep 3: Body Connectivity with Kaliyah pt. 1
This week, I connected with fellow SFU School for Contemporary Arts student, Kaliyah! I talk about the intersection between her discipline of contemporary dance and body/mind connectivity. We touch on her research on land/body relationality as it relates to her piece All My Relations which was performed at the Ascension 2025 dance show at the SCA! In this part, we begin to connect body and mind with the land through Kaliyah’s positionality as a dancer, laying a foundation for our next part as we begin to discuss decoloniality in academic and art institutions.
