Dancing Digital Archives in Atlanta

Julie B. Johnson (Moving Our Stories) and Victoria Lemos (Archive Atlanta Podcast) have collaborated on site-responsive choreographic initiatives that utilize archival and embodied memory research to lift up Atlanta's unique histories. 

Join us as we explore three different sites of memory:
  • digital archive collections
  • historical neighborhoods
  • our moving bodies

​We will share research tools and strategies to incorporate into your creative practice.

Prompts from Moving Our Stories’ Dancing in Darktown project will take us through online collections to a walk along the historic Auburn Ave corridor, and then to our embodied memories through collective movement.

Light refreshments will be served.
Advanced registration required here.

Saturday, October 18, 10:00a-2:00p EST
