"Without community there is no liberation." (Audre Lorde)
The symposium Perform: the common body takes this quote as an opportunity to allow community-building practices from performance art and neighbouring disciplines to become the subject of contemplation and a call to action.
The origins of performance art go back to the endeavours of the 1960s to create a new art form that emancipates itself from male-dominated art production. It therefore has an inherent activist character. But what other activist potentials arise from the collective practices of performance art? What performative gestures can create communities? Who is part and not part of this community?
The symposium aims to scientifically examine community-building practices from various disciplinary, decolonial and planetary perspectives and to make them practically tangible. Perform: the common body is intended to create a place to come together in order to develop shared visions that utilise artistic strategies. Over two days, the symposium will bring together actors from academia and artistic practice to speculate about (us as) a community and the activist force behind it.
