FORMATTING THE MESSAGE, DAY 2

Critical Performance Art
ArchiPornography: Myths of Integration

How to use your body as a critical tool?

Performance art as activism: learn how to consciously act with your body, starting with daily life activities. Understand the performative power of deep time and simple body gestures. Demystify living sculptures by creating your own Myth of Integration.

The participants will learn how to format a political, critical or activist idea through the language of their bodies, using simple gestures and minimal props. The workshop is interactive, created with a goal to go through the entire artistic/activist process: idea forming, experimenting/testing, shaping the form, implementing, and finally living with the consequences of what they’ve created.

Dress code: Black and comfy.

If the participants agree, the result of the workshop will be a series of photographs of living sculptures (them), created during the workshop.
