Performance Studies International #12
Call for Proposals and Ideas
PSi #12: Performing Rights--June 15-18, 2006--will be a gathering of artists, activists and academics who are making and researching performance that declares its interest and intent within the field of Human Rights. PSi #12 is being approached as a festival of creative dialogues investigating the boundaries and relationships between Human Rights and performance and will present an integrated schedule of conference and contextualising events.
Queen Mary, University of London, East End Collaborations and the Live Art Development Agency are seeking proposals for all aspects of PSi #12: Performing Rights.
Contextualising Events
PSi #12: Performing Rights will attempt to create a context for exploring the role of performance and the responsibilities of artists in effecting political, social and cultural change through a series of contextualising events including performances, interventions, new media presentations, installations, screenings, displays, artists led laboratories, spontaneous interactions and a library of research and resource materials.
PSi #12 Performing Rights are inviting proposals and recommendations from artists, activists, curators and commentators about performances, new media projects, publications, videos, websites, events, networks, organisations that are concerned with issues of Human Rights for all aspects of the contextualising programme. Proposals are welcome at any time from May 2005.
