The coordination office is collaborating with Science Meets Art in its anniversary year.
This workshop will guide participants through a process of critically mapping different kinds of knowledge - ancestral, scientific, indigenous, feminist, lived experience - and interrogating the methods through which we produce, validate, and disseminate data in academia. Through a participatory mapping exercise, we will reflect on how knowledge is produced and where it’s located - examining both intellectual and embodied data. Using techniques of participatory mapping, body mapping and body printing, we’ll invite participants to consider how personal and collective experiences, often marginalized in academic spaces, can serve as vital sources of data. This isn't just about acknowledging these experiences but also about transforming them into actionable knowledge that reshapes our academic systems and practices.
