Building on the experiences gained during Mr. Wuppuluri’s fellowship, the aim is to jointly develop and implement regular online formats for actors within the AMA project network. In collaboration with team member Valerie Voggenreiter and former student assistant Moana Pfleiderer, the focus will be particularly on the practice of embodiment exercises, i.e. the development and application of methods of embodied knowledge. The initiative thus directly continues the thematic and methodological work at the point where Mr. Wuppuluri’s fellowship concluded.
