SUMMARY:Liverpool Medical Institution: Liverpool Medical Institution: Octob
 er Gathering 2019: From the Rainforest to the Deep Sea
DESCRIPTION:October Gathering 2019: From the Rainforest to the Deep Sea\n\n
 Book Now\n\nMind-travel with us to the rainforest and the deep sea.\n\nIn 
 an afternoon of talks\, screenings and a lecture-performance\, leading res
 earchers and practitioners will explore notions of the body\, politics of 
 care and alternative forms of knowledge.\n\nThe October Gathering is a new
  knowledge production platform laying the conceptual ground for Liverpool 
 Biennial’s public programmes over the coming year. Our first gathering i
 s organised around two metaphors – the rainforest and the deep sea. Both
  are ecosystems where complex entanglements of life co-exist. They manifes
 t the qualities of circulation\, interdependency and interconnectivity\, a
 nd it is within this context that we propose to expand our understanding o
 f the body. Circulation of bodies and their knowledge is a recurring theme
  within the artistic practices which Liverpool Biennial 2020 is engaged wi
 th.\n\nIn the rainforest\, we will pay attention to Amerindian configurati
 ons of the body which challenge the distinction between human and animal\,
  culture and nature. In the deep sea\, we will consider contemporary forms
  of exploitation such as the global turn towards the ‘blue economy’. O
 n the other hand\, this is also a zone that hasn’t yet been colonised by
  modern systems of knowledge. It opens up a different possibility of inter
 connectivity that can be taken as portents for the future body.\nProgramme
