Bodies in Time & Space

By Ahmad Naser Eldein, Alina Chen, Cecilia Bracmort, and Diwya De Silva

Inspired by Sarah Sharma’s research on time temporalities, Bodies in Time & Space examines how varying identities can experience time and spaces in their own ways. Environments shift as bodies occupy their spaces. Alternatively, time can alter how we define or perceive our bodies. When we start to consider the intersectionality of the countless types of bodies in our world, we must recognize that there is no singular response to how individuals occupy time or space. As response to this action and reaction within environments, Bodies in Time & Space brings together four artists to showcases the multiplicity of their human experiences.

Ahmad Naser Eldein, Alina Chen, Cecilia Bracmort, and Diwya De Silva use personal, political, and/or sexual inquisitions of identities, decolonization, and immigration to showcase how their bodies, or bodies akin to theirs, are affected by time and space.
