About the event
Join us for a mixer-inspired evening of art and conversation as we invite guests to reflect on and understand what it means to be at home in our bodies from the perspective of women and girls. This initiative encourages us to examine how we challenge, define, and affirm our individual and collective identities while reimagining healing, health, and wellness through community and movement.
The evening will centre around a panel discussion led by Asha Edwin and Dr. Janelle Joseph, Assistant Professor at FKPE featuring a roster of special guests who will lend their lived-experience, critical research and community knowledge who will share their voices and elevate the discussion. The Body is Home will investigate questions and themes related to the intersection of movement, sport, and community through photos and narratives that capture the experiences of Black women runners and members of Hill Studio Run Club in the summer of 2024.
