ROBERTA LIMA: DISPLACEMENT


Displacement refers to Brazilian artist Roberta Lima’s ongoing process of interweaving her experiences as an architect and as a performer. As an architect she was trained to provide safety and the idea of shelter, and as a performer she was given the chance to experiment with the opposite: the idea of instability. Lima touches on many themes such as gender and bio-politics, and makes use of different elements to debate the concept of displacement.

This one-night-only performance and installation at New York’s White Box was curated by Lara Pan, and will include a talk by Austrian curator and art historian Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein.

TUESDAY JANUARY 17, 7-9 PM
Performance at 7:30pm; lecture at 8pm
