Walking and Stumbling: The Aesthetic as Agitator for Activism
Title
Walking and Stumbling: The Aesthetic as Agitator for Activism
Description
The chapter interrogates the efficacy of site-responsive performance art and its contribution to embodied activism. It locates embodied activism within the field of Somaesthetics and proposes performance art that by its aesthetic nature is provocative; where the aesthetic of the performance is the agitator for activism; where the location or site of the performance intersects with the content of the work to create an additional layer of meaning.
