IF I CAN'T DANCE, I DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR REVOLUTION



EDITION II: "FEMINIST LEGACIES AND POTENTIALS IN CONTEMPORARY ART PRACTICE"

If I Can't Dance, I Don't Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution is a rolling platform for performative practices in visual art. It's current, second edition entitled "Feminist Legacies and Potentials in Contemporary Art Practice" focuses on positions within contemporary art that are informed and inspired by the act and thinking emanating from femimism. So far three episodes have taken place; this fall the fourth and final part will be presented, developed in collaboration with the MuHKA and MuHKA_media in Antwerp, Huis en Festival a/d Werf in Utrecht and de Appel arts centre in Amsterdam. The programme includes an exhibition, a symposium, a performance programme, and a film programme. See for detailed information on the programme: www.ificantdance.org.
