Coming up in Beirut...
Beirut: Bodies in Public
Workshop dates: October 9th – 11th
American University of Beirut (Beirut, Lebanon) & other locations in the city
Beirut: Bodies in Public is a three-day workshop inviting artists and researchers to respond to the interdisciplinary concerns surrounding performance in public space in Beirut. The workshop is free to attend, and open to all. It incorporates research presentations, discussions, performances, films and interventions in and around the city, as a means of enquiry and debate into the role of embodied practices in the city’s precarious public sites. Naked Wagon, a project led by our artist-in-residence Dima Mabsout, will be on site as a mobile hub for discussion and encounter, and to document the story of the workshop. The Naked Wagon artists will create a live, onsite response to the workshop during the three days, to be performed at the conclusion of the event.
