Bodies and Structures began as a chance encounter at an Association for Asian Studies panel in 2016. Since then, we have hosted three conferences, three builders' workshops, worked closely with fifteen module builders and our development team at the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture, and benefited from the time, treasure, and generosity of numerous institutions and individuals. We thank you for your support and commitment. We could not have done this without you.
