performingborders | LIVE | Feb - June 2019

Curated and produced by Xavier de Sousa and Alessandra Cianetti

performingborders | LIVE aims at gathering live artists, curators and producers whose practice has been committed in working on, across, and against borders to invite one artist of their choice for a series of public open conversation events held in England.

Curated and produced by Alessandra Cianetti and Xavier de Sousa, performingborders | LIVE aims at exploring live events as a way to broadening the number of artists, art professionals, activists and general public involved in the online performingborders platform. The project creates a series of live events and new commissions to encounter the UK-based audience, its urges and perspectives while making sure those discourses feed into the international sociopolitical and artistic discourses.

All events are free and open to everyone, from all backgrounds.

WORKSHOPS

21st March 2019 | Attenborough Centre for the Arts |  Brighton 6th July 2019 | Depford Lounge | London (tickets)

In the Embodied Social Change workshop by Camille Barton, dance, somatics and mindfulness are used to explore how oppression is rooted in the body and how we can shift its hold on our lives using mindful attention and movement. The work is intended to generate new approaches to activism that focus on the body, as well as the mind. After all, systems of power and oppression are reproduced by our bodies on a daily basis.

INTERNATIONAL PRESENTATION

May 2019 - Beyond the Wall / Más Allá del Muro Festival, Nogales, Mexico/US Exhibition + screenings of new commissions + UK-based live interviews screenings

Each event will be recorded and shared on the performingborders platform and at the Beyond the Wall binational Festival in Nogales (Mexico/US) for international audiences to connect with UK-based artists and art professionals’ work and critical thinking.

To bring the discussion further, 2 original performance to camera commissions will be produced and shown at the project final event in the UK, at the Beyond the Wall binational Festival in Nogales (Mexico/US), and also screened freely online and at other selected events.

A few days ago, @sunnyhaze and I began the 1st of many sessions of the foreign art project. You can pretty much blame us for the constant climate change, if he ain't heating shit up, I'm cooling shit off. If you don't believe, you'll soon see. #sleepy256 #sunnyhaze #foreignart #hybridhustle #sunny17 #international #hiphop #artists #yingyang #instadaily (at Sonik Garage)

"The more you sweat in times of peace, the less you bleed in times of war!" is one of the quotes I live by. Gotta stay ready for whatever these days. #sleepy256 #hybridhustle #foreignart #international #hiphop #artist #wednesday #wisdom #picoftheday (at Chatan, Okinawa)
