‘Bodies for Change’ is a multimedia project that explores an alternative approach to social change; one that places a focus on bodies rather than minds, through the methods of movement and performance.

​

The project presents the perspectives of artists Camille Barton and Xavier de Sousa, who reflect on the potentialities of their work to achieve social change.
