Embodying Avatars: Performance Workshop

4 March 2022

The performance workshop “Embodying Avatars” is hosted by Diasporas Now in collaboration with Bread Theatre and Film Company and Decolonise Art History at the University of Cambridge.

The workshop considers the diasporic condition, with a nod to Legacy Russell’s “Glitch Feminism,” as a departure from unity to multiplicity, embodied in the production of performance art.

Artist presentations are followed by exercises in world-building and character development Rieko Whitfield and Paola Estrella, and movement-based expression by Lulu Wang and Josh Woolford.

Curated by Winnie Zhu (Decolonise Art History) and Wen Xiao (UCL Art History).
