This artist conversation will focus on melanie bonajo’s creative practices and immersive installation, When the body says Yes, presented in IMMA’s stunning Baroque Chapel. The exhibition seeks to answer the question of whether there is still a place for intimacy in today’s increasingly commercialised and technological world. The central theme of the exhibition is touch: literally, but also representing our relationship to each other and the world around us.

The discussion explores the artist’s interests in non-mainstream communities pushed to the margins of society, either through cultural exclusion or because they do not belong to a normative system. Issues of ethical and empathic coexistence, body politics, equality and alternative forms of perception of the world and oneself are prominent themes of enquiry in bonajo’s work.

This talk offers a pretext to artist led workshops by Skinship Collective on Sat 27 July exploring Consentship (10am) and Collective Body Spells (2pm) at IMMA.
