What is the shape of this wound? Katherine Toukhy welcomes you to engage with materials created in her participatory research of the past year. When she started her research last year, Toukhy didn’t exactly know the question she was after. She only knew that safe space was needed to express rage, grief, absurdity, reinvention, in response to the current political repression. Through intimate group explorations with her thought partners, Obadah Aljefri and Nadia Khayrallah, supported by Culture Push, she catalyzed a process of somatic movement, drawing, and writing. “What is the shape of this wound?” has become the question that emerged from these explorations. Paradoxically, she ends the fellowship having found the question rather than any clear answers - which feels like an appropriate accomplishment for these times. Join her at the Symposium to further explore, through interactive engagement and a minimalist installation, dynamic emergent ways of sensory knowing.
