Körperkino is a collaborative storytelling methodology that explores the weight of the stories we carry in our bodies. Born from the need to reclaim erased histories and to imagine plural futures, Körperkino invites participants to tell their own stories, and to co-create stories with others rather than about others. By looking at the politics within storytelling of 'who gets to tell whose stories' and 'for whom' and 'why'.

​

Created as a practice-based methodology, Körperkino has been taught across Europe in the format of immersive workshops. Using film, personal and public archives, embodied exercises, and reflective games, these workshop sessions are designed to look at renewed ways for both personal expression and ethical collaboration. It opens space for creators, artists, researchers, journalists and community workers to explore the intersections of memory, identity, privilege, and pain—by listening, witnessing, and crafting stories together.
