Aslam Abdus-samad // 107 Projects, 2023
An interactive installation that seeks to create a Dictionary of Words I Wish I Had. Those words are then turned into short stories which are then made into short dance pieces. However, along the way if words are forgotten, they will be planted to grow into a Garden of Forgotten Words.
Step into a world where unexpressed emotions find a voice. Witness these stories come to life, unearthing the power of movement in storytelling, through beautifully filmed dance pieces in our video anthology, ‘Body of Words’.
Conceived and performed by Aslam Abdus-samad
