Keynote Speaker - Avbody Symposium, Huddersfield University

Taking Afro Diaspora Ritual Movement and rhythm as an Afrofuturist technology, Nwando Ebizie as Lady Vendredi led this workshop, connecting participants with an ancestral movement, geared towards the future self. Building up movement, rhythm and song worked towards group improvisation and emotive release. The mythic, scientific and online video culture will met in movements of sensory deprivation and immersion, and invited participants to challenge assumptions and bias about their own perceptual frameworks.
