“I think of our bodies as EVERYTHING: our bodies are culture, history, present, and future, all at once. Out of respect for and trust in our bodies and collective memories, I give equal weight to story and image, to movement and stillness, to what I imagine and to what I do not know” (Johnson, 112).
