Embodied Knowledge

Embodied knowledge refers to a form of knowing that is rooted in bodily experience rather than purely abstract or cognitive reasoning. It is a type of knowledge in which the body itself knows how to act. This form of knowledge is something we aim to generate in this project through entanglement between participants and walking as well as sea salt making process.

This concept stands in direct opposition to the mind–body dualism that has long dominated thoughts developed in a context that prevails modernity, progress, and science.

Embodied knowledge situates interrelated bodies and minds within the material world, centering what is emerging through sensory, touch, smell, and taste alongside sight and sound, and it resists the mind–body split, distanced knowledge production and learning.
