TOUCH Weaving is an ongoing interdisciplinary research project at the intersection of somatic practice, movement studies, architectural embodiment, and perceptual science. It explores how the sense of touch shapes our spatial awareness, relational dynamics, and socio-political presence, using the enactment of weaving as a physical or mental approach to thought processing and narrative-bridging.

​

Rooted in the belief that everything is in a constant state of flux, this project is driven by the idea that movement, or what we often perceive as its absence, is a fundamental condition of being. Rather than focusing solely on visible or intentional motion, TOUCH Weaving examines how subtle, often overlooked haptic interactions generate shifts in perception, behavior, and environment.

​

Through a series of workshops and performative investigations, I facilitate embodied experiences that heighten awareness of the body in space, and of the communicative bridges between thoughts, imaginations, bodies, and relationships. These experiences aim to blur the boundaries between inner and outer space, inviting participants to engage with the world not just visually, but haptically—through skin, pressure, resistance, and contact.

​

The core inquiry of the project is: How does touch provoke movement, both within and beyond the body?

And further: How can we use touch as a tool to reconfigure relational, social, and political structures?

​

Touch is never neutral. Every act of touching carries intention—it reveals our orientation toward the Other, whether that Other is human, animal, vegetal, or mineral. In this sense, TOUCHing becomes a political act. It embodies our values, our willingness to relate, and our capacity to coexist.

​

In a time marked by disconnection, systemic violence, and political crisis, I propose that we must relearn how to touch. Reconsidering touch as a practice of connection, empathy, and responsibility can open new pathways for imagining contemporary forms of democracy, care, and collective presence.
