BURN THEIR BOOKS AND FAKE THEIR STORIES. WHAT GENDER AND GENOCIDE INSTRUCT US ABOUT CONSENT AND COMPLICITY.
In this AN HOUR WITH, artist and activist alex blum will map her concerns with performance by reading out loud some concepts central to her work. Over coffee and croissants, alex will share experiences from her research LILY SCREAMS, which revisits Judith Butler’s notion of ‘gender performativity’ while fabulating the story of Lili Elbe, who - as one of the world’s first recipients of gender-affirming surgery - risked her life to embody radical imagination.
By assuming that there is an embedded poetics of madness and risk within times of genocide, alex invites us to embrace our own nonsense to affirm and mourn ungrievable lives.
The conversation will be in Danish or English depending on the participants.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
alex blum (she/they, DK) is a choreographer, political educator, and somatic activist based between Copenhagen and Amsterdam, where they graduated from the School for New Dance Development. In her artistic work, alex looks for sensuous detours from identity politics by means of touch, voice work, and shared listening in rehearsals with critical friends, lovers, and strangers.
By questioning who is given a voice, or not, whose bodies are enfranchised, witnessed, cared for, and commemorated, or not, alex blum explores the (im)possibility of trans* embodiment and the refusal of genocide.

TICKETS
