Scenographies of Site-Writing and Critical Spatial Practices Across the Americas

PULSE, HEMI, and Concordia University Research Chair in Performative Urbanism Present: Scenographies of Site-Writing and Critical Spatial Practices Across the Americas.

This intensive five day residency will explore scenography as a lens and method for undertaking critical performance-making practices in urban environments. The PULSE Residency is in collaboration with Hemispheric Encounters: Developing Transborder Research-Creation Practices, which brings together scholars, artists, activists, and community organizations from across the Americas to explore hemispheric performance as a methodology, a pedagogical strategym, and as a tool for social change.

One of the goals of the collaboration is to understand and critically engage with unsettling dominant western and colonial ways of being in and understanding space, and thinking about and exchanging different methods of doing that: through site-writing and performance practices, performative writing about site, within and in relation to site.
