Event Details
This talk will teach about the "Performance Art" genre, a
contemporary form that lives between life, theater, and visual
art. First, we will address the genealogy of Performance Art in
the Americas from a decolonizing point of view to signal its
anti-indigenous history. Then, we will see some examples of
queer and trans* performances from Colombia, Mexico, Brazil,
Chile, and the United States Latinx diaspora. A transnational
perspective will allow us to comprehend better how these
artists deal with colonial legacies and imperialism through their
art practice.
