The conference and performance programme seeks to open up new perspectives on storytelling, narrativisations of history and their embodiment in performative arts and practices in Southeast Asia. The combination of lecture and performance programme reflects the conference's desire to explore the possibilities of how curatorial, institutional and scientific practices can learn from artistic practices.

The conference “Embodied Histories – Entangled Communities” was conceived by Gridthiya Gaweewong (Jim Thompson Art Center, Bangkok, MAIIAM, Chiang Mai), Anna-Catharina Gebbers (Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin), Grace Samboh (researcher, curator, Yogyakarta), Siuli Tan and June Yap (Singapore Art Museum) in collaboration with Kirsten Maar (Institut für Tanzwissenschaft, Freie Universität Berlin) and Annette Jael Lehmann (Institut für Theaterwissenschaft and Cluster of Excellence 2020 “Temporal Communities: Doing Literature in a Global Perspective”).

The conference is a collaboration between Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof and the Cluster of Excellence “Temporal Communities: Doing Literature in a Global Perspective” of Freie Universität Berlin, supported by the Goethe-Institut in Southeast Asia.
