RADICALITY, DECOLONIALITY, UTOPIA IN LATIN-X PERFORMANCE 

– EVENT PRESENTED BY LOVE LAZERS –

Berlin: 9/15+16, Rostock: 10/20

Oshnur ALT, a non-binary performance artist born in Pereira, Colombia, wants us to open with them a two-session talking and creative practice around performance art in terms of the expressive power that is being mobilized aesthetically, creatively and politically by non hegemonic bodies in Latin America and the Caribbean. This will be a great opportunity to have an approach to those radical performative actions that have been held all around Abya Yala –the indigenous name for Latin America and the Caribbean– by those queer and trans bodies who dissent from the colonial white cisgender heteronormative society by acting up and fighting daily consequences of fascist and other forms of violence.

In this workshop we will learn together to express our subjective making of the world through text and performance, recognizing the potential of our body movement and redefining sensible and responsible ways in which we as performance artists get related with the society and how to change it for the better.

Fri, 15th of Sep, from 17:00 to 20:00, Sat, 16th of Sep, from 11:00 to 15:00.

Vogue bezeichnet einen Tanzstil, der in den 1970er Jahren in der Ballroom-Szene der marginalisierten homosexuellen Subkultur von New York Harlem entstand. Die Bezeichnung stammt entsprechend von der gleichnamigen Modezeitschrift Vogue. 

Der Tanz gilt als sehr expressiv und körperbetont und galt zu Entstehungszeiten als friedliche Art, sich mit seinen Rivalen in der Szene zu duellieren und allgemein gesehen zu werden.
