Is your figure less than Greek/ is your mouth a little weak/ when you open it to speak/ are you smart?

2017
Performance

A performance about Greekness as the cradle of western white civilization, ranging from 19th century hymns to the Glory of Greece that were foundational to the colonisation of the Americas, to the biopolitics of the heteronormative modern body in relation to the Greek statues, to standpoint narratives of the endangered species of the female art teacher in Athens, to reflections on the Learning form Athens of documenta 14. Some singing too.

Presented @ Maelstrom Slow Dance: Dutch Art Institute Graduation Acts
