Description
Performing Revolutionary Art, Action, Activism by Nicole Garneau presents a unique approach to creating politically charged interactive public events. Based on five years of practice-based creative research, this book offers practical methods for staging radical change through performance art. The UPRISING project, which involved thousands of participants in eight US locations and five European cities, is documented here alongside accounts from participants, writers, theorists, artists, and activists. The result is a fresh perspective on the challenges of moving from critique to action, with photographs and critical essays adding depth to the discussion. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in using performance art as a tool for social change.
