For Refugee Week 2024 Napier Drop-in Centre is running a special dance and movement workshop with The Body-As-Data Project.
Join us on 19th June when we'll be hosting an inclusive movement workshop open to the community and residents of Napier Barracks, followed by a meal. On 20th June the project continues with a walk at Folkestone Warren.
Commissioned by Counterpoints Arts and Arts Council England, The Body-as-Data Project aims to connect local communities and those who have experienced forced migration through creative dance practice, walking, and surveillance technologies to come together to mobilise the border of the Kent coast from Margate to Folkestone.
The 'body-as-data' refers to the process of the body being inscribed into data and vice versa when interacting with surveillance technologies at digital border zones, which ultimately controls onward movement.
