SUMMARY:If my body had a name by Hoor Malas
DESCRIPTION:https://leb247.com/events/if-my-body-had-a-name-by-hoor-malas-1126\n\nMy inspiration for If My Body Had a Name was sparked in 2021 while listening to an old interview with English educator Ken Robinson\, in which he spoke about how we use our bodies as a form of transportation—a vehicle through which we carry our minds from one place to another. This idea led me to begin researching the mind-body problem\, a longstanding philosophical question concerning the relationship between the mind and the body and their respective roles in ourdecision-making. Who is responsible for the choices we make—the mind or the body? And what happens when we begin to question the assumption that the body is simply the vehicle carrying the mind?These questions became a starting point for thinking about my own body: what does it remember\, what does it carry\, and what does it know that the mind may not? How are our behaviours and ways of moving shaped by the places we come from\, the people who raised us\, and the social and political systems we have lived within? If the body carries our history\, can we ever truly leave our past behind?Wanting to begin from somewhere familiar and personal\, I started exploring gestures rooted in my upbringing and culture\, observing how these gestures resonate within my body and what they reveal about the ways I have learned to move\, respond\, and exist. I became interested in the possibility that a gesture can hold memory—that something as simple as the way we sit\, stand\, reach\, greet\, or respond can contain traces of where we come from. Wh
