This unique gathering delves into how the body serves as a vessel of sensation, memory, and imagination, acting as a primary medium for art, research, and meaning-making. From #psychosomatic experiences to body-based creative methodologies, and the dynamics of athletics in artistic expression, we aim to investigate the multifaceted roles of the body in art.

We invite proposals for 15-minute presentations, whether academic, creative, or hybrid, covering a variety of engaging topics such as:

• #Poetry and the body
• The #MedicalHumanities in the arts
• Illness and creative processing
• The body as material
• #Embodiment in creative processes
• Body as a medium of Arts-Based Research
• #Psychosomatics and the expressive body
• Psycho-body dynamics
• Body-based therapies and healing arts
• #Sports, #athletics, and movement
• #Technology and the posthuman body
• The #sacred and #ritual body
• #Disability, difference, and the body
• The #gendered and #queer body
• The body in space and movement
• #Memory, #trauma, and the body
• Ecologies of embodiment
