Curatorial Mutiny and its partner MKP will organise a series of workshops that investigate how contemporary research on affective touch can be used for new forms of expressions and investigations in the arts. Contemporary research in Neuroscience shows that inter-personal touch is getting pushed out of our everyday lives. This trend leads to social problems and poses a threat to people’s well-being. The current project brings together visual artists, choreographers, creators in theatre, neuroscience and representatives of alternative medicine to a set of workshops in Stockholm.
