Sytems of Pain/Networks of Resilience (Public/Science) (2016/18/26)

The Journal for Embodied Research recently agreed to publish this video summary of Systems of Pain/Networks of Resilience. Grateful this work still has momentum, almost a decade later.

ABSTRACT
While reflecting on their multidisciplinary work Systems of Pain/Networks of Resilience, artist Meghan Moe Beitiks considers first-person interviews and bodies of knowledge in various fields. Facing down difficult issues like trauma, discrimination, and the vulnerability of the body, Beitiks looks to commonalities across species and disciplines as means of developing resilience. Originally presented at the Science in Public Conference in 2018, with excerpts shared at RIXC Open Fields in 2016, these reflections went on to become the book Performing Resilience for Systemic Pain, published by Routledge in 2021.
