In the panel titled “Under the Skin: Power, Desire, and Resistance”, the body will be approached not merely as a biological entity, but as a field constructed within social relations, operating through flows, and continuously reorganized. The discussion will address how the body is shaped not only by disciplinary structures of power, but also by more diffuse and fluid forms of control.
Within this framework, desire will be considered not as a lack-based condition, but as a productive force—one that generates new connections between bodies and social fields. Resistance, in turn, will be understood not simply as opposition, but as a creative potential that enables new modes of becoming within these flows.

In the “Atlas of the Fifth Sense Workshop,” participants will be invited to reinterpret their everyday experiences through sound, touch, smell, rhythm, and intuition, while exploring the invisible connections the body forms with its surroundings.
In the panel titled “Under the Skin: Power, Desire, and Resistance”, the body, identity, social norms, and practices of resistance will be examined through interdisciplinary approaches. The panel will open up discussion on the intersections between power relations and their effects on the body, as well as desire and resistance. All interested participants are warmly invited..
