The exhibition is divided into three sections: "The Body as Archive," "Performance as Archive," and "Memory as Archive." The first section explores the ways in which the body itself can serve as an archive of experiences. The artworks in this section include sculptures and photographs that capture the physical traces of memory on the body, such as scars, tattoos, and wrinkles.

The second section of the exhibition examines the ways in which performance can be used to create and preserve memories. The artworks in this section include videos and photographs of performances that have been staged specifically for the exhibition, as well as documentation of historical performances. These works explore the ways in which the body can be used to express and communicate memories, and how performance can be used to create a shared sense of history.

The third section of the exhibition explores the ways in which memory can be archived and transmitted through different media. The artworks in this section include installations, sculptures, and videos that explore the relationship between memory and technology, and the ways in which memory can be shaped and manipulated by the media through which it is transmitted.

The Sentient Archive: Bodies, Performance, and Memory is a thought-provoking and visually stunning exhibition that offers a unique perspective on the relationship between the body, performance, and memory. The exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or the human experience.
