Lecture | The Body in Ritual: Giving Life to the Sacred Object
Thu, Feb 12
|Montreal
This lecture offers a reflection on how the mask and the body resonate together, drawing from intimate memory, personal history, and traces of the past to bring forth a transfigured identity. The ritual then becomes a liminal space: between the collective and the individual, between the inert object and the living presence, between memory and creation.
