Description
Dr Sarah Hopfinger will discuss and reflect on her ongoing project Ecologies of Pain, which is a performance research project that creatively explores the insights between living with chronic pain and living with, and relating to, wider ecological pain. Living and working with chronic pain can offer insights into what it means to live with fragility and uncertainty, as well as involving expertise in relating to loss and despair. These processes are arguably key at this time of ecological catastrophe and environmental emergency. Ecologies of Pain investigates how the particular ‘pain’ knowledges of people living with chronic pain can be explored and developed as creative practices of resilience for living in a ‘wounded earth’ (Haraway, 2016).| Period | Apr 2023 |
