Friday 17 May morning session: PLACE
Creating site-specific work includes physical space, its stories, and its people. When does a work contribute to a place, and when it becomes extractive? How can we foster reciprocity? How do we give value to meaning that is already in place?
We give a stage to the dialogue with a place that hosts a performance and inspires it.
MTNow’s selected work The Urban Tale of a Hippo and additional speakers, artists and programmers, will share about the decision to act in a non-neutral space, a place.
