This course explores the unique role of performance art, which evolved with, through and against the dominant theories in the last century and unpacks some of its central binaries: black/white, male/female, straight/queer, west/east, human/other. Students analyze solo works from international performance artists in relationship with key shifts in the transformations of identity at the beginning of the new century by viewing performances, reading what artist interviews and performance theory.
