Humanities to the Rescue 3/27-3/29/20: "Performance, Publics, Possibility"

The HI Performance Research Workshop is honored to organize this Humanities to the Rescue symposium in tandem with the visit of Nick Cave (2019-20 Eileen Silvers Visiting Professor in the Arts and Humanities). 

 

Taking as inspiration Nick Cave’s artistic-activist praxis, the “Performance, Publics, Possibility” symposium explores arts and humanities-based practices of imagining and enacting more equitable and just social formations by way of performance’s capacities to engage publics. Please join us for a day of performances, panels, and camaraderie. Brunch is included.

Details are accessible via this master link:

  • A workshop with Susan Leigh Foster (Friday March 27)
