Welcome

You’ve found yourself here. Welcome.

Survival Movements helps create conversation and space around trauma in a way that explores the relationship between experience through animation making. Gatherings will invite discussion on the various ways trauma happens, manifests, and heals while creating animations through the process of drawing, cutting paper, and other various art making activities with the result being a stop-motion animation to be shown at a screening and on social media. The art will explore boundaries in collaboration, directly confronting/addressing aspects of society that create trauma.

Initially, the project was designed to explore sexual trauma, but the world isn’t the same as when the seed was planted in fall 2019. My own reference points will be based on my experiences, but I welcome any one interested to show up however you want so we can play and make some art.
