Join us to reflect on Carolee Schneemann’s legacy, and explore how feminist performance has been carried on by artists working today.

For this series of events, performingborders has put together three gatherings that bring together contemporary live artists working on themes of bodies, borders, and politics, continuing conversations that Schneemann was a part of and providing opportunities to engage with ongoing feminist performance practices.

performingborders is a collectively run platform for artistic research and creation, focused on notions and lived experiences of intersectional borders through international live art and performance practices.

These sessions are open to all levels of experience, we welcome a range of artistic practices, as well as those who would like to learn more. You can join us for all three sessions, but you can also attend just one.

BSL interpretation and refreshments will be provided in all the events.

performingborders

performingborders is a collectively run platform for artistic research and creation, focused on notions and lived experiences of intersectional borders through international live art and performance practices.

Drawing from the knowledge shared by the contributors of the platform, performingborders has over the years created a digital and live tapestry of interconnected, transnational experiments through interviews, artist commissions, open calls, publications, residencies, workshops, conversations, events, newsletters, and performingbordersLIVE. All their work is freely accessible online.

In both their collaborative work and individual research, work with a definition of border that is open and acknowledges the diversity of experiences at the intersections of cultural, juridical, racial, gendered, class, physical, economic, and everyday borders.

Co-run by Alessandra Cianetti, Xavier de Sousa and Anahí Saravia Herrera, in collaboration with guest curators, thinkers, artists, activists and researchers.
