With Komala Amorin & Javier CuraEvolution has designed us through movement, touch and socialisation. We are born to run, jump, walk, climb, fight, cooperate, tell stories, sing and dance. Our brains are a consequence of our wide range of movement, food and social interactions.The way we move affects our physical, emotional and mental health. Acknowledging our evolution’s design can have a positive impact on ourselves, on our society and on the Earth. We would like to embody the change we wish for us and for those who will follow us. |
